Our Girls: A Friendship That Begins with a Blow
On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, filmforum Duisburg will present the compelling film Our Girls. The story centers around Elise and Madelon, whose friendship begins with a sudden event and evolves into a multilayered narrative about closeness, vulnerability, and growing up.
When a Moment Changes Everything
The encounter between the two girls carries a unique tension from the very beginning. A single blow becomes the dramatic turning point and opens a space where trust, loyalty, and the search for one's own identity intersect. The staging focuses on the subtle shifts within a friendship and transforms the seemingly ordinary into an intense cinematic experience on the big screen.
Between Closeness and Distancing
Elise, played by Frédérique van Baarsen, and Madelon, portrayed by Rosa van Leeuwen, carry the story with nuanced acting. Their relationship thrives on unspoken tensions, careful approaches, and moments when the dynamics between the two girls rearrange themselves. The dramaturgy does not rely on loud effects but rather on the quiet power of emotional observation.
Atmosphere at filmforum Duisburg
The filmforum at Dellplatz combines the atmosphere of a historic cinema palace with modern image and sound technology. In this special space, Our Girls unfolds its impact: light, acoustics, and concentrated audience proximity create a theatrical atmosphere where every gesture holds weight. The performance lasts 115 minutes and is rated for ages 12 and up.
An Evening for Attentive Moviegoers
The screening is aimed at visitors who wish to engage with a sensitive story about friendship, conflict, and inner transformation. Instead of clear answers, an open resonance space emerges where the audience's reaction finds its own way.
Conclusion
Our Girls promises a focused and emotional movie evening at filmforum Duisburg. Those who appreciate sophisticated dramaturgy, intense acting, and an atmospheric production will experience a story that lingers long after the credits roll.
