Caroline Schuch is at the center of the new television film “Elodie”, which is broadcast tonight, October 7th, at 20:15 in Das Erste and is also available at ARD Mediathek.
According to the NDR, Schuch interprets Elody Keyserling, a translator who lives in Brussels and seems to have his life under control. But everything begins to collapse when her husband Mehd seeks separation, telling her that he is lonely next to her. At the same time, Elody is constantly faced with inexplicable nightmares.
The turning point comes when she travels to her parents' home in Lüneburger Heide for her mother's 65th birthday.
The ARD indicates that Elodine by chance reveals some of his family's background. After her birth, her mother had suffered from depression, and Elody had been sent to a steward. Even her brother Ben had not been aware of history.
The discovery moves Elody to search for the truth for her first years of life and the reason for the emotional impasses that have followed her even in adulthood. THE NDR describes the film as a story of silence within the family, printed memories, and the impact that early experiences can have on a person's life.
Besides Caroline Schuch, in the movie Sibylle Canonica, Michael Whittenborn, Jan Krauter and Eva Mattes. The regime is Nicole Weegmann's, and the script was written by Esther Bernstorff.
The film was premiered in Filmfest München on June 29, 2026, and tonight it arrives at the general public on German public television.
For Schuch, “Elody” comes in an important career period. The NDR has also announced that the actress will be part of the new “Tatort” team in Kiel, alongside Almila Bagaricik.
