Actors Julia Jentsch and Bjarne Mädel talk about how they related to their characters. In 24 Weeks (24 Wochen), they play a stand-up comedian and her manager struggling to keep a tragedy privately while being public figures.

24 WEEKS tells the story of cabaret performer Astrid (Julia Jentsch), who six months pregnant learns that her unborn child will be severely disabled. She and her husband Marcus (Bjarne Mädel) have a choice, but little time… A strong nature with a witty answer to everything, Astrid now feels lost, on her own, impossible to continue her comedy routine. Ultimately only she who is bearing the child can take this weighty decision. What will she do? Who decides whether the child will have a life worth living?
