Courtesy of Nordpolaris, X Verleih Beta Cinema has picked up international sales rights to feel-good comedy “Agnes & Amir” ahead of its premiere on Sunday at the Munich Film Festival. The film, directed by Helena Hufnagel, is based on a true story.
The film follows Iranian Amir, who is waiting to hear if his refugee status in Germany will be accepted or whether he’ll be deported. He moves into the Berlin apartment of Agnes, a 101-year-old who is trying to avoid being sent to live in a retirement home. Despite their differences, the flatmates form a close bond that helps them confront the challenges that life throws their way.
