When Family Secrets Weigh Heavier Than the Truth

A sentence that hits like a poorly timed punchline: Cornelia is too fat, says Werner. And Werner should know, as he is her husband. The film Lies About My Mother tells a tragicomic family story about body images, power, guilt, and the little lies that nestle in everyday life like popcorn between cinema seats.

Between Family Comedy and Bitter Drama

On Friday, October 9, 2026, the filmforum Duisburg will showcase the multifaceted German film by director Aron Lehmann. The focus is on Cornelia, played by Rosalie Thomass, whose life is shaped by her husband Werner's accusations. Daughter Ela finds herself caught in the middle and tries to maintain her own perspective on the truth in a household full of expectations, shame, and emotional distortions.

Punchlines with Resonance Instead of Laughter on Demand

Lies About My Mother is not a comedy show with a classic stand-up microphone, but a tragicomic film that gains its humor from observation, absurd everyday situations, and precise timing. The laughter often gets stuck in the throat. This is where the strength of the film lies: The comedic moments open a door behind which serious questions about beauty ideals, family power, and hurtful language await.

Strong Cast, Sharp Script

Rosalie Thomass not only took on the lead role as Cornelia but also wrote the screenplay. Golo Euler embodies Werner, and Elise Lindner plays daughter Ela. The ensemble also includes Johanna Gastdorf, Juliane Köhler, Anneke Kim Sarnau, and Rainer Laupichler. The film is directed by Aron Lehmann. It is based on the autobiographically influenced bestseller by Daniela Dröscher and was produced with the participation of TOBIS and ZDF, among others.

Cinema Hall Instead of Comment Column

The comedy atmosphere is not created by a barrage of jokes, but through careful observation: a glance, a silence, a casual remark with maximum impact. The audience experiences a laugh-filled journey with a tragic undertone, strong stage or screen presence, and a family story that feels sometimes amusing, often uncomfortable, and always human.

Conclusion: A Movie Night That Lingers in the Mind

Those who enjoy tragicomic films, social themes, and pointed family stories will find much more than light entertainment in Lies About My Mother. The filmforum invites you to an evening that inspires laughter, reflection, and discussion. So take your seats, secure some popcorn, and watch how an apparently simple assertion turns into a whole family universe.
