Family Movie: The Ordinaries (3:30-5:35 p.m.)

“The Ordinaries” is a 2022 German science fiction tragicomedy directed by Sophie Linnenbaum. It has won ten European and International film awards and was nominated for several others. The target audience for this movie are kids 14+ and their families.

Summary: In a fabulous world, strictly divided into main characters, supporting characters and outtakes, Paula faces the most important test of her life: she has to prove that she has what it takes to be the main character. Paula wants a glamorous life with her own storyline, exciting scenes and full of music – not like her mother, who works as a supporting character in the background. She is best in class in cliffhanger scenes, masters slow motion and panicked screaming in her sleep - only she just doesn't want to succeed in creating emotions. In search of a solution, she comes across inconsistencies in the death of her father, a heroic main character. Her investigations lead her to the oppressed, despised outtakes, people with film defects, on the margins of society. But instead of vicious rebels, she meets broken characters with real emotions trying to survive in an unjust world. Paula begins to doubt – herself, her place in the story and those who tell it.
