Short description

Höfliche fünfzehn Minuten is a German drama about a woman named Lena whose stable life collapses around her 40th birthday. After her longtime partner, Stefan, leaves her just before the celebration, Lena finds that her circle of friends supports him rather than her. As she tries to prevent them from leaving, the tension increases and the situation spirals out of control.

The short film was directed by Lea Marie Lembke and written by Eve Lamell. It was produced by ARTE, SWR, and Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. Iringó Réti stars in the lead role as Lena, appearing alongside Sabine Kölbl as Anita and Viola Neumann as Gudrun. The production has a runtime of nine minutes and was released on January 23, 2026.
