Raise a glass at this special screening of Hello Betty, part of the 2026 HSBC German Film Festival, with sparkling wine and Swiss cheese on arrival.
Set in 1956, Hello Betty is a warm and inspiring true story from Swiss director Pierre Monnard, led by a captivating performance from Sarah Spale as advertising pioneer Emmi Creola. A talented copywriter in a male-dominated industry, Emmi creates fictional housewife “Betty Bossi” to promote a client’s products - only for the character to take on a life of her own.
As Betty’s popularity soars, Emmi finds herself navigating newfound recognition, creative ambition and the expectations placed upon women in 1950s society. Both humorous and heartfelt, Hello Betty is a charming portrait of identity, reinvention and the enduring tension between public image and private life.
