"Each of us"
Beta Cinema has secured international sales rights for the upcoming historical drama "Each of Us", which reveals the untold story of survival, resistance, and sorority in the Ravensbrück women’s concentration camp — the only camp of its kind — during the final days of WWII.
The film is produced by Alhena Production (Spain), Bon Voyage Films (Germany), Turnus Film (Switzerland), and Blick Productions International (Poland), in co-production with Ramen Studio and EFD Group. The project, developed with the support of Media Creative Europe, is backed in Spain by ICAA, ICEC, TVE, and TVC; in Germany by ARTE, SR, SWR, RBB, BR, MDM, MOIN & MBB; in Switzerland by BAK, Zurich Filmfund, and RGB Stiftung; and in Poland by PISF and WFDIF.
Production is currently underway, with filming taking place in Poland, Germany, and Spain.
"Each of Us" is directed by an all-female team of four acclaimed European filmmakers: Anne Zohra Berrached ("24 Weeks"), Neus Ballús ("The Plague", "The Odd-Job Men"), Stina Werenfels ("Dora or The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents") and Anna Jadowska ("Woman on the Roof", "Wild Roses"). Inspired by true stories and penned by screenwriters Eva Pauné and Mirjam Ziegler, the film follows the intertwined journeys of four women from different countries as they struggle to preserve their humanity amidst the brutal conditions of the camp. Their lives become linked through a young girl who brings both hardship and hope.
The ensemble cast is led by Diane Kruger ("In the Fade", "Amrum", "Inglourious Basterds"), Carla Juri ("Blade Runner", "When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit", "Wetlands"), Aida Folch ("The Artist and the Model", "The Island", "Smoking Room") and Ninel Geiger ("Music", "Sound of Falling"). "Each of Us" is lensed by Agnieszka Holland’s frequent collaborator, the acclaimed Polish cinematographer Jolanta Dylewska ("In Darkness", "Spoor", "Ayka") and edited by Pedro Almodóvar’s long-time collaborator Teresa Font ("The Room Next Door", "Parallel Mothers").
The producers highlighted the way the title was filmed: ‘To allow for an authentic representation of our four protagonists’ backgrounds, experiences, and identities, 'Each of Us' is filmed in a truly unique way: each director focused on a different protagonist, offering her individual attention from screenwriting to mise-en-scène. From the rushes, we can tell the result is an awe-inspiring experience — marked by emotional depth and a strong connection to the protagonists and their individual journeys, in which solidarity, the characters’ quiet strength, and a sense of hope rise far above the harsh realities depicted," stated.
Thorsten Ritter, Executive Vice President of Beta Cinema, emphasized how it will resonate internationally: ‘We are honored to represent “Each of Us”, a film that brings together a remarkable team of female directors (two of whom we had the pleasure to work with before, Neus Ballús and Anne Zohra Berrached) and a compelling narrative that resonates universally. Its exploration of resilience and solidarity in the face of unimaginable adversity is both timely and timeless," noted.
Beta Cinema’s Cannes slate also features Fatih Akin’s new film "Amrum", screening in official selection, alongside several English-language upcoming titles such as the Bill Nighy-led road movie "500 Miles", the Italian hit comedy "U.S. Palmese" by acclaimed duo Antonio and Marco Manetti, and the award-winning Spanish debut "The Remnants of You" by Gala Gracia.
