Recommendations of the editorial team
Ina Weisse’s films are so delicate, so fragile in their consistency, that they are literally afraid that they could break apart if you only watch too intensely.
A personal story
You can’t help it with this deeply personal film, who leads a confident woman back to the house of her parents in the east, where her father is no longer patriarch in the shadow of which one is inevitably standing, but a shadow (sic!) Of his own, sick, weak, at the end of his life (played by Ina Weisses Father, the architect Rolf D. Weisse).
Only on the rabbit
But it is more about the unexpected meeting with a woman from the area who always struggles with herself and her survival. Then “persona” greets greetings in this brilliant-inter-inter-intercoating psychogram.
And Nina Hoss – she can be seen here in her parade role.
Our rating: four and a half stars
