Synopsis
Ms. Stern wants her life to expire already. With every attempt to leave this world, life brings her surprises. The absurd life circumstances and random encounters with strangers continuously conflict with the soberness of her desire to die.
Set in modern Berlin, MS. STERN is a dramedy about 90-year-old holocaust survivor, who is unable to choose her own fate. However, while trying her best to find a way out of this life, she spends her time joyously with her spirited grand-daughter, Elli, and her eclectic group of friends, living it up to the fullest.
