It is a very strange dance these two fine young actors do.. you never know quite where it is going.. and you find it hard to take your eyes off them. The audience for such a film will be very small, it is as far from any mainstream film as one can find. But with many such films they can drift off into unwatchable territory, and although this production time and again flirts with going over the edge, each time it returns to keep us involved. And when it's all over, you're not entirely sure what you have witnessed, but feel as though it was worth your time spent.

How much realness do you need? Seems some festivals deemed this had more than enough. And to be clear the central performances of the two lead actors is amazing - especially the female one in this. The male part is played by someone well known for his quirkiness - at least in roles. If he's completely different in real life, than kudos to him.

The movie overall has won a lot of prizes as imdb is stating, which is a little bit surprising ... at least to me. Can't be the script really, considering this plays a lot like an improvised experiment with some pillars set to give actors orientation. Feels like they're doing most, if not all of the work in that department. Which comes through in things being repeated and work place being ... well let's just say far removed from German efficiency ... or what people would imagine that to be. A lot of silliness going around and a strange love connection occurs ... an unlikely one some may say, but opposites attract so I would argue the opposite ... no pun intended.

If you are into German independent movies that are ... weird to say the least, this may be quite the experience for you. Everyone else be wary of what you let yourself into. This is not an easy watch. Some sensuality and sexuality included (with a bit of nudity)

I adore foreign films and it really bums me out to dislike one so much but here it is! What a bore! This is the kind of crap America was producing during the 60s/70s. It's supposed to warm our hearts to youth, freedom and independence. Instead it's everyone's nightmare child. One is too sensitive and completely naive while the other is a raving out of control addict sociopath bent on ruining everything around her. As I watched the film I found myself waiting for the moment someone either kills her or mutilates her. She was one of the most hideous female characters to come along in film. Shakespeare would've put her out on a limb and cut it off. The characters are not fully formed, writing atrocious (what there is of it). It would've done very well here in USA as a typical B film shown on Netflix's lesser list. The photography is terrible and the cameraman is a drunkard. One feels a little empathy for the boy until he becomes her sex slave. All the characters need years at the Betty Ford inc. the writers and producers.
