Bobby

Bobby Kustermann faces a life-changing situation after the unexpected death of his mother. As his siblings, Nanni and Johannes, vie for custody, they reveal their differing motivations and the challenges inherent in their family dynamics. Nanni and her husband Klaus present a seemingly stable family environment, but Klaus's interest is primarily financial. In contrast, Johannes genuinely wishes to provide Bobby with a loving home, despite the complications of being gay and living with his partner, Marc.

The film highlights the struggles of individuals with disabilities, especially in the context of familial love and societal acceptance. The court battle that ensues brings to light not only the legal aspects of inheritance but also the deeper emotional connections that define what it means to be a family. With its focus on a woman director and a gay theme, Bobby adds an important perspective to discussions about representation in cinema.
