Meet Julia and Patrick, a longterm couple. Passionate about life, still deeply in love and adoration after thirty years of stabile marriage. Witness the fire go out in their sex life and shake the basis of their otherwise enviable relationship. Courageously confronting their needs, they decide honestly and openly together, Patrick should have his sexual passion satisfied elsewhere. But there are rules. The relationship with another woman remains only sexual; no incursions into their family, careers or peaceful day-to-day. Enter Claire. Younger, clever, charming, beautiful and confidently emancipated. She understands how to leverage her qualities in order to stay materially comfortable. When she finds out she’s just an end to a means, things go off the rails, and she pushes deeper and deeper into Julia and Patrick’s worlds…
Psychological thriller elements layered into a modern and topical drama. Well-crafted dialogue and emotional believability form a tight backdrop for A-list German acting.
