A summer evening between desire, work world, and cinema magic
The Babelsberg Summer Film Evenings bring Love Steaks to the screen, a film that tells contemporary German stories in a raw-light, sensual way. At DEFA70 in Studio Babelsberg, summer festival atmosphere meets a stage experience of cinema: dense, lively, and full of fine friction. The film by Jakob Lass combines improvisation, humor, and emotional immediacy into a love story that pulses in the rhythm of the working world.

A film that lives in the moment
Love Steaks tells of Clemens and Lara, of physical labor, class, attraction, and the stumbling of two very different people towards each other. The story does not rely on smooth romance but on nerve, pace, and the unfinished. It is precisely this improvisational energy that gives the production its character: a documentary-like camera, direct dialogues, a vibrating closeness to the characters.

Babelsberg as an appropriate venue
At DEFA70, the evening unfolds its special charm. The house has been reopened to the public, according to the organizer, and offers excellent image and sound technology. Additionally, there is the café garden of the MediaTech Hub Potsdam, which turns the movie visit into a summery conclusion. Anyone who wants to experience film culture in its cozy, atmospheric state will find the right place here.

The realism, the improvised interactions, and the strong presence of Lana Cooper and Franz Rogowski are praised. For the audience, this does not create a distanced viewing experience but an immediate participation, where every glance, every pause, and every tone carries weight.
