CANCELLED – Friday Film Fest: Der Vorname (2018)

Thomas and his partner Anna have decided on a very time-honored and traditional name for their impending baby. Unfortunately, at a dinner party given by his sister in honor of the occasion, Thomas’ impish sense of humor inspires him to suggest that the baby will be receiving another name with considerable resonance in German history. He insists that the others guess that name. He gives them a hint: it begins with A… So begins an intense, thought provoking, and often utterly hilarious Streitgespräch that brings the psychology and politics lurking deep within the practice of naming a baby to the surface.
