Anna is already 60 years old, and her acting heyday has passed. She lives alone, but Michelle, her downstairs neighbor, is also single. She has a friend and confidant. Anna reluctantly accepted the language coaching job of 17 year old Adrian, who has a language barrier and is a bit out of place. She recognized him as the boy who had recently robbed her handbag in the street... When describing this lively and humorous story, the word "irresistible" comes to mind. This story tells the impossible love between a thief and a woman. Director Nicolette Krebitz is very cautious in handling the fragile balance between society and the mind. A fresh breath of freedom wafts through a narrative, making room for a tribute to the old West Berlin, some gentle banter about Germany's French neighbors, and even a ghost driven away to make way for new possibilities. But most importantly, "A E I O U" is a passionate love letter written to Sophie Royce, perhaps through her, to all talented actors ignored by an industry that loves young blood. Facts have proven that these young players, represented by newcomer Milan Helms, not only respect their experienced peers, they really love them.
