🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Caroline Link's film is a quiet, piercing meditation on love, acceptance, and the inevitability of farewell. The director avoids melodramatic traps, trusting in the power of simple gestures and glances between the spouses, played with brilliance by Hanna Schygulla and Elmar Wepper.
What lingers after the credits is not a sentimental drama, but a profound immersion into the fabric of family life, where beneath layers of everyday conversation lies genuine sorrow and immense tenderness. It’s a final, autumnal journey of the soul. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Doris Dörrie

Autumnal Berlin, muted tones of a hotel room, silence around the family table.
