In the quiet streets of a bustling city, Anna, now 60 and past her prime as an actress, finds herself living alone but with the company of her loyal downstairs neighbor Michel. Despite his single status, Michel has become not just a companion but also a confidant for Anna. Reluctantly, driven by necessity rather than desire, she takes on a new role as a language coach for Adrian, a 17-year-old with a speech impediment and a reputation as something of an outcast in his community. Adrian's past intersects with Anna’s when he is identified as the boy who recently snatched her handbag. Yet, this encounter does not mark the end of their paths; instead, it sets the stage for a compelling narrative that challenges societal norms and expectations. "**Irresistible**," as the title suggests, encapsulates the essence of this light-hearted and humorous tale of an unlikely romance between Anna and Adrian, who is often perceived as a thief. Director Nicolette Krebitz masterfully navigates the delicate balance between societal constraints and the pure emotion that blossoms between them. The film breathes new life into its narrative, weaving in elements reminiscent of old West Berlin with gentle jabs at Germany’s French neighbors. Even a mysterious ghost makes an appearance, but this figure is eventually dispelled to make room for the promise of new beginnings. At its core, **A E I O U** stands as a heartfelt tribute to Sophie Rois and, by extension, all the talented actors who have been overlooked in favor of younger performers. The film cleverly highlights how these emerging stars, embodied here through the performances of newcomer Milan Herms, not only admire but genuinely adore their more experienced counterparts. This story is a poignant reminder that true passion and talent can be found at any age, and it invites viewers to reconsider what constitutes a meaningful role in life and art. Through its charming narrative and compelling characters, **A E I O U** offers a delightful exploration of love, redemption, and the enduring power of human connection.
