‘Miroirs No. 3’ Trailer: Christian Petzold’s Buzzy German Drama Heads To Theaters On March 20

We can now share a trailer for the upcoming film “Miroirs No. 3,” heading to limited theaters in March after the feature was making the rounds at film festivals last year, including the Toronto International Film Festival, Cannes Directors Fortnight, and the New York Film Festival.

Written and directed by Christian Petzold (“Phoenix,” “Transit”), the German-language drama (that already has some strong critical praise) stars Paula Beer, Barbara Auer, Matthias Brandt, and Enno Trebs. Florian Koerner von Gustorf, Michael Weber, and Anton Kaiser are set on the film’s producing team.

An official synopsis for the film, courtesy of 1-2 Special:

During a weekend trip to the countryside, Laura, a young piano student from Berlin, miraculously survives a shocking car crash. Awakening in a nearby house, Laura finds herself in the care of a local woman, who tends to her with motherly devotion. As she recuperates, Laura begins to integrate herself into the lives of the woman and her initially reluctant husband and son.

By turns haunted and hopeful, Laura and her adopted family reawaken to the world and come to find a strange harmony together. However, they cannot outrun the ghosts of the past, which begin to stir, as acclaimed director Christian Petzold spins a modern gothic fairytale about the lies we tell ourselves and the strange ways that grief, connection, and humanity bind and sustain us.
