action
The couple Jan and Marie are on vacation in Spain with their friends Frank and Steini. However, Jan does not appear to leave for home. Although Frank sees him standing in the surf on the beach during the search, he denies the others that he has seen anything. Marie tears up the photo with her and Jan and decides to go back to southern Germany.
Five years later, Marie is married to Frank, the unfaithful Steini moves in with his girlfriend Jenny and Jan's mother takes tons of sleeping pills. Jan's brother Olli, who met the musician Babette, also helps with Steini's move. Marie still can't understand Jan's disappearance. Initially, everyone assumed a death, but Jan reported from France without making a statement. Marie repeatedly daydreams in which she sees Jan and her imaginary child. One night she gets out of bed to write Jan a letter and express her feelings for him. Not finding the right words, she throws it in the trash. The next morning Frank discovers the crumpled letter and sends it to Jan without Marie's knowledge.
Jan travels to Germany without warning, not without spending another night with a stewardess. He enters his parents' house, where the house cat runs out of the house and is never found again. His mother is overjoyed, but Olli is not at all enthusiastic about it. With his unexpected appearance he awakens memories in his family and tears open old wounds. Frank tells Marie about Jan's arrival, who doesn't want to see him at first. Your life is now increasingly out of joint. Jan's father, a successful lawyer, breaks off a business trip to see his son. However, the encounter is not without tension. Jan's presence alone makes his friends doubt their current life plans. Frank becomes more and more jealous and suffers a sudden hearing loss.
At the level crossing, where it is always 3 ° colder according to popular opinion, Jan and Marie meet by chance for the first time. She smiles at him, completely distraught. In a café she asks him why he left. He replies that he didn't go away, he just didn't come back. Then Marie leaves. Since she still loves him, she doesn't know whether to be happy or angry. Jan visits her at the nursery where Marie works and asks her to go with him. However, after an initial outburst of anger, she kisses him passionately. Marie is now moving further and further away from Frank, who is completely beside himself and withdraws. His hatred applies primarily to Jan.
After going to a club together, Frank goes home and takes off his wedding ring. Marie, on the other hand, spends hours together with Jan. However, after a kiss in his car at night, she gets out. The next morning she enters her apartment, where she finds Frank, who is sitting in the hallway against the wall. Without exchanging words, they both move closer and closer together until Marie lays her head in his lap. Meanwhile, Jan says goodbye to his parents without a word and travels back to Spain.
criticism
“Largely sober experimental set-up around people who have settled in non-binding life plans. Played brilliantly, the silent film develops into a study of comprehensive alienation "
