An evening full of family secrets, dark humor, and queer cinema

With Donkey Days, the Queer Film Night invites you on June 18, 2026, to the cultural space die flora for an intense cinematic experience that touches the soul. Rosanne Pel tells with a fine sense for tensions, role models, and quiet abysses about two sisters who return to their parental home and confront old wounds.

When family becomes a stage for conflicts

The film unfolds its impact through friction: dark comedy, precisely observed family drama, and queer perspective interlock with each other. Anna and Charlotte represent opposing life concepts, while mother Ines determines the fragile balance of the family. From this constellation grows a cinematic stage experience, driven by psychological sharpness, laconic wit, and a dramaturgy that uncovers secrets layer by layer.

A play of intimacy, distance, and fine empathy

The staging focuses on atmospheric density rather than loud effects. The interplay of the characters opens a space for identification and friction at the same time. It is precisely the mixture of family chaos, quiet vulnerability, and laconic comedy that lends the evening a special theater atmosphere, even though here the art of film takes the stage. Those who watch attentively experience how seemingly incidental moments create a strong emotional impact.

Rosanne Pel and the power of the precise gaze

Rosanne Pel develops a clever, multi-layered portrait from an everyday family constellation about control, self-assertion, and the search for belonging. The production is internationally situated and has been recognized at festivals; at the same time, it remains close to the characters and their inner truth. The result is a performance that convinces both the audience and critics through its accuracy.

The venue: Cultural space die flora as a vibrant cultural setting

The cultural space die flora has been located since 1995 in the former cash hall of the State Central Bank and offers a distinctive framework for cultural events with its unique architecture. Between marble columns, open spatial effects, and good accessibility, a place emerges where cinema becomes a palpable communal experience. Accessibility is indicated with a disabled parking space, wheelchair-accessible entrance, and limited-access restrooms.

Conclusion: A Queer Film Night for mind, heart, and stance

Donkey Days promises an intelligent, touching, and at times bitterly funny evening about family, freedom, and the question of how intimacy remains possible. Anyone who appreciates strong characters, fine dramaturgy, and queer contemporary cinema should experience this date live.
