Touching German Cinema Contemporary German melodramas are not very popular among us and I think there are objective reasons for this. Meanwhile, they have their own special spirit and attraction.
The movie "Mother for Anna" is one of those. It is about how to fight for life, even in cases where the diagnosis is not the most promising. It means that on your life path you will meet people who will not let you die overnight. This film is about how a strong-willed woman does not want to cause trouble and be a burden to her loved ones. Not always, when we love someone, we hurt that person, and try to spare him. And that's the right thing to do. The main character, performed by Christina Platte, is a beautiful and charming woman. She's sick. And at that very moment, she meets a man who alone raises a teenage girl and falls in love with him. Oh, this is a bad time. Well, what can I do? This happens and quite often we catch ourselves on how this or that situation seems to us, to put it mildly, not timely. And our heroine is a very good woman. From her emanates a genuine feminine warmth, in which you immerse yourself with your head. Michael Rohl's character is exactly the same. He is a kind, sympathetic person who will not pass by other people's grief. He is a good father who loves his daughter and does everything to make her happy. The girl Anna bribes with her immediacy and sincerity. It's not so sweet to live without her mother, but she's doing well. She is jealous of women who might be around her father. Anna does not want to share him with anyone, wants him to give her more time and attention, and he needs to work, feed his family. He did not drink, did not get angry at the whole white world, but accepted the situation, accepted this test and with honor comes out of it, as on the very yacht under which they are going to sail.
If life has taken away his wife and companion of life, she will return in due time. You just have to wait and be patient.
The film is true, honest and gives hope to people who stand on the edge of a precipice, just everyone has their own.
For the love of life:
