Mariana Trench: A film about grief, farewell, and new joy of life

On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, the series Human Focus at Regina Kino Regensburg invites you to a special film screening followed by a film discussion. The film Mariana Trench, the touching debut feature of director and screenwriter Eileen Byrne, will be shown.

Between loss and hope

The center of the story is Paula, played by Luna Wedler. Since her little brother Tim drowned in the sea, her everyday life has been overshadowed by grief and feelings of guilt. An encounter with Helmut, portrayed by Edgar Selge, opens up an unexpected perspective: Together, they embark on a journey to Italy, taking them to places of personal memory and painful farewells.

A road movie with human depth

Based on the novel of the same name by Jasmin Schreiber, the film combines dramatic intensity with subtle comedic moments. The journey in the motorhome becomes an emotional exploration of loss, connection, and the possibility of a new beginning. Landscapes in South Tyrol, Tyrol, and Luxembourg shape the visual language and give the story an open, atmospheric vastness.

Film discussion in the context of cultural education

After the screening, there will be a film discussion hosted by the hospice and palliative care network Together in Regensburg. The focus will be on questions of farewells, living on, and societal attitudes towards grief. Thus, the event connects cinematic storytelling with cultural education and a sensitive exchange about existential experiences.

An intense art experience in the cinema

Mariana Trench unfolds its impact through the nuanced acting of Luna Wedler and Edgar Selge, the contrasting combination of pain and humor, and the calm, observational direction. The aesthetic experience ranges from quiet moments of grief to surprising encounters where new joy of life becomes visible. The film is rated for ages 12 and up.

Conclusion: An evening for contemplation and hope

Visitors can expect a touching film evening about grief, memory, and the healing power of human closeness. The subsequent discussion deepens the themes of the film and opens space for reflection. Those who understand cinema as an art experience and as a place for social exchange should experience this evening live at Regina Kino.
