She started making films when only men actually did: A conversation with Margarethe von Trotta about women, men and how she found her older sister through one of her films.
Margarethe von Trotta rejects the Corona fist salute because it is too aggressive for her. She prefers to put her palms together and charmingly indicates a bow.

She doesn’t want to celebrate big anyway, the next shooting is coming up – in Jordan.
