Synopsis

Australian premiere

Die Ironie des Lebens

 At 67, Edgar (Uwe Ochsenknecht) is a successful German comedian. Every evening on stage, he charms audiences with his sharp wit about life’s later years—relationship failures, ungrateful children, fading desires, declining health, and the approach of death. But when the show is over and the laughter dies down, he is left to face his own loneliness. He tries to fill his empty evenings by numbing his feelings with drinks and short-lived flings.

One day, his ex-wife Eva (Corinna Harfouch, also in Dying) appears unannounced at one of his performances. He has not had contact with Eva or their two adult children for 25 years. But soon Eva and Edgar begin to reconnect. Against all expectations, love rekindles between them and Eva decides to accompany Edgar on his comedy tour through Germany and Austria.

Directed by Markus Goller (One for the Road, 25km/h) The Mystery of Love is a bittersweet tragicomedy about appreciating life and love, forgiveness and second chances.
