Amalia's Legacy / Amalia's Erbe (Drama, Germany 2024)

AMALIA’S LEGACY / AMALIA’S ERBE (SHORT FILM - DRAMA, GERMANY 2024)

It’s a drama in German with English subtitles. In addition, I wrote a supporting scientific thesis that shows the interaction & mental health between actors & other participants. The title of this thesis is: „What measures can be taken to increase public recognition and preservation of the acting profession, particularly to better protect and promote young talent in the field of mental health?“. It’s the continuation of my previous project „Amalia’s Prime (Drama, Germany 2023).

Plot from the predecessor: The story revolves around a young drama student who’s very ambitious in pursuing her dream, but still has difficulties in getting her private life under control. In doing so, she not only reaches her own psychological limits, but also endangers her relationships with her fellow human beings.

5 year later, after the event of „Amalia’s Prime“:

Amalia, a 40-year-old actress who has built a successful career in the theatre & film industry, faces unexpected challenges when the industry takes a downturn.

Struggling with scarce job opportunities & personal setbacks, she finds solace in mentoring Valentina, a bullied teenager with dreams of acting. Inspired by Valentina's resilience, Amalia takes a bold step to start her own acting school, aiming to empower young people facing adversity.

As she navigates this new chapter, unexpected reunions & revelations force her to confront her past & embrace her role as a mentor.
