Upstart distributor 1-2 Special has released the official US trailer for their upcoming Christian Petzold drama MIROIRS NO. 3, which will launch in US theaters on March 20th, 2026. The film world premiered in the Director’s Fortnight Section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
Miroirs No. 3 is written and directed by Christian Petzold, and stars Paula Beer, Barbara Auer, Matthias Brandt and Enno Trebs.
In the film, during a weekend trip to the countryside, Laura, a young piano student from Berlin, miraculously survives a shocking car crash. Awakening in a nearby house, Laura finds herself in the care of a local woman, who tends to her with motherly devotion . As she recuperates, Laura begins to integrate herself into the lives of the woman and her initially reluctant husband and son.
By turns haunted and hopeful, Laura and her adopted family reawaken to the world and come to find a strange harmony together. However, they cannot outrun the ghosts of the past, which begin to stir, as acclaimed director Christian Petzold (PHOENIX, TRANSIT) spins a modern gothic fairytale about the lies we tell ourselves and the strange ways that grief, connection, and humanity bind and sustain us.
