Drama

Mid-19th-century, Baltic Sea port city of Lubeck, Germany. Follows the fourth generation of the Buddenbrook mercantile family as Tony and Thomas reach the age of marriage. Fatefully impeded every step of the way, the Buddenbrooks struggle as economic hardship and personal defeats weigh down family relations.

VIBE

A sweeping, somber saga of a family's slow decline. It feels like watching history unfold, heavy with the weight of tradition, societal expectations, and inevitable loss. A deeply melancholic, yet beautiful, cinematic experience.
