Old Love: When after 40 years suddenly everything is open

On October 8, 2026, the ODEON – Cinema & Café in Bamberg will transform into a resonance space for a clever, biting, and tender love story. Old Love tells the story of Harry and Lore, a couple who, after four decades of shared life, face the crucial question: Is that it – or is something new beginning?

A marriage filled with friction and closeness

Harry loves his garden, his wheat beer, and peace. Lore longs for adventure, travel, and a life beyond library readings and familiar routines. When daughter Julia wants to marry for the third time, the seemingly stable family order begins to wobble. Amid sharp remarks, old wounds, and unspoken desires, an emotional space opens up where both characters meet each other anew.

Literary basis with great acting

The story is based on the bestseller by Elke Heidenreich and Bernd Schroeder. Director Andreas Dresen and screenwriter Laila Stieler translate the original into a finely observed filmic staging, whose dramaturgy thrives on the interplay of irony, melancholy, and tenderness. Dagmar Manzel and Joachim Król give Lore and Harry a precise, nuanced presence: Every look, every pause, and every seemingly casual sentence carries the story of a long relationship within it.

Between garden bench, family celebration, and new beginnings

The stage and film experience unfolds its effect from the small things: the familiar tone of a marital conversation, the tension beneath the surface, and the moment when attention arises again from habit. The theater atmosphere of the ODEON provides the perfect setting for this intimate chamber play about love in old age, missed opportunities, and the courage to change.

A film about the possibility of a second beginning

Old Love combines subtle humor with touching life experience. The staging focuses on forty years of marriage without idealizing the characters. In the contradictions of Harry and Lore lies their credibility: They argue, remain silent, observe each other – and discover that closeness can emerge anew even after decades.

Conclusion: Visitors can look forward to a warm-hearted, clever, and at the same time cheerful stage experience in cinema format. Those who appreciate acting, pointed dialogues, and stories about love, age, and change will experience an evening in Bamberg with a lasting impact on the audience. Mark the date now and discover Old Love live at the ODEON.
