Berlinale 2025: Comedy about monsters and dreams celebrates its premiere!

Kunsthaus Graz, Lendkai, 8020 Graz, Österreich - Austrian film experiences an exciting comeback! The Diagonale 25 will open on March 27th with the debut by director Pochlatko and his film "How to Be Normal". The film celebrates its world premiere on February 16 at the Berlinale and is said to inspire many spectators as a brilliant work with the outstanding Luisa-Céline Gaffron. Pochlatko, known for his short film "Strawberland" and his training at the Filmakademie Vienna under Michael Haneke, brings a gripping story about Pia, a young woman who is thrown back into normal life after a stay in psychiatry. According to the jury, the work describes an "infernal comedy and a goal to our present", which increases the anticipation for the event, like Kleinezeitung.at reported.
