Coward in Mannheim: Emotional cinema about love, courage, and humanity
On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the audience at the Oststadt Theater Mannheim experiences the moving film Coward. The story takes place in the midst of World War I and tells of two young men searching for a moment of personal freedom amidst the front, violence, and longing.
A love story in the shadow of war
In 1916, Pierre arrives at the front wanting to prove his courage. Francis is tasked with uplifting the spirits of his comrades through theatrical performances. When they meet behind the trenches, an immediate connection forms. Between military routine and growing threat, a tender, intense love story develops.
Powerful emotional cinema with historical weight
Coward combines war film, romantic drama, and compelling emotional cinema. The event appeals to an audience that appreciates sophisticated film art, queer perspectives, and emotionally told stories. Director Lukas Dhont, known for the award-winning film Close, stages the encounter with great sensitivity and visual intensity.
Audience mood and event experience
In the cinema hall of the Oststadt Theater, a concentrated event atmosphere arises: intimate closeness, historical tension, and strong emotions shape the event experience. The award in Cannes for acting performance and the selection as a Belgian Oscar candidate underline the film's artistic significance.
