Existential parable romantic melodrama of one of the brightest representatives of the Berlin school - Christian Petzold. According to receptions, it resembles Undina (the previous work of the director), but there the tone of the genre and pure realism is more clearly spelled out. If there was water there, then there was fire. And with moments of noir and thriller with Hitchcock's suppence, Thomas Schubert plays in Woody Allen's style. Same recognizable types.
