Stand UP

A young woman performs stand-up comedy. Biting. And political. She works through the influence of her two homelands, Iran and Germany. She polarises. A group of fascists attacks her, and her courage begins to waver. But her deeply devout sister gives her strength. She must not stop. Now least of all. She is good at this, the sister says. Alexa Benkert plays this woman. And she is good at it. (Pictured with director Habibi)Production: HMS Hamburg Media SchoolDirector: Shahab Habibi
