For Immediate Release – Films We Like is honoured to announce the acquisition of Miroirs No.3, the latest film by acclaimed German director Christian Petzold (Phoenix, Barbara, Afire), one of contemporary cinema’s most distinctive voices. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival as part of the Directors’ Fortnight and will have its North American premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, featured in the esteemed Centrepiece programme.
In Miroirs No.3, director Christian Petzold continues his deeply attuned collaboration with Paula Beer, crafting a film of emotional precision and quiet resonance that explores grief, belonging, and the illusions we create to carry on.
On a weekend trip to the countryside, Laura, a piano student from Berlin, miraculously survives a car crash. Physically unhurt but deeply shaken, she is taken in by a local woman who witnessed the accident and now cares for Laura with motherly devotion. When her husband and adult son also give up their initial resistance to Laura's presence, the four of them slowly build up some family-like routine and spend some days of happiness together. But soon they can no longer ignore their past, and Laura has to come to terms with her own life.
