Review

Semi-mystic german movie what is rooted deeply in realistic expression but still have a little bit of mystism.

A woman named Undine is dumped by her boyfriend. Suddenly almost immediately after break up new man who has been on tour where Undine is a guide, Christopher, comes to talk to her since he wants to get know Undine. Soon they are in a relationship.

Later Christopher gets on accident when he is working. Undines story how she has been on phone with him later - after the accident when he is already dedicated as a braidead - does not seem to match with reality. Was she really on phone with Christopher or what is real anymore?

Story is interesting and mostly realistic, but small mystic elements give it a nice touch and makes it more interesting one when there is questions left open for viewer to think.

Acting, directing and other stuff are basic without anything bad to say. Piano music in this movie are very beautiful and touching.

Good movie with interesting story, but still I kind of miss something more. Can't blame the movie for that tho since there was nothing wrong, maybe it is a little bit more for different kind of viewers.
