Petra


Marlie, a dutiful assistant who dreams of being the theater's next star, struggles to wrangle a flamboyant cast of characters for a closing performance of "The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant" their adaptation of Fassbinder's text. Along the way she learns that what she thought would bring her closer to her big break, is actually what is keeping her from her dreams. Dealing with Margo, the theater group's volatile director, is always challenging but it's critically so when Marlie has to tell her that the main electrical panel for the theater has collapsed and she had to call the only electrician who could fix the archaic apparatus: Margo's ex-husband, Frank. Margo would rather set the stage on fire than have Frank return to that building. Imagine having to tell an aging, sensitive and melancholic star like Karilda that her very last performance after a long and highly acclaimed career may never see the curtain rise and if it did, it would reveal an unlit stage. All while dealing with the fascinating young star, the new sensation, the drunken trainwreck: Eva. How could Marlie make them see that she's ready for the spotlight if she can't even succeed at her current meager occupation? Petra is free on Tubi, free on The Roku Channel, streaming with subscription on Here TV (Via Prime Video), and 2 others. It's a comedy and drama movie.
