Luisa

First of all I am not impartial as the main actress is my sister. You got an equal amount of actors with and without disabilities which has never been done before. It helps for the authenticity. The cast is well guided by the director and the story is important to be brought to us and our minds. The movie had it's world premiere at the Shanghai festival and was well received. Luisa marks the debut by director Julia Roesler, blending raw realism with poetic sensitivity. This German drama confronts the taboo subject of sexual violence against women with disabilities-an area rarely explored on screen.

The story follows Luisa, a 22-year-old woman living in a group home for people with disabilities. When she discovers she's pregnant and her partner is sterile, suspicion and silence collide. What unfolds is a quiet, emotionally devastating process of institutional reckoning and personal trauma.

The film is rooted in real-life cases and constructed using verbatim interviews from survivors, caregivers, and family members. That foundation gives Luisa a moral and emotional weight that never feels forced or sensationalized.

If you're looking for a film that challenges, moves, and lingers long after the credits roll, Luisa is a must-see. Its quiet power lies in what it chooses not to say-and in the dignity it gives to voices that are too often unheard.
