3 Zimmer / Küche / Bad is a German comedy by Dietrich Brüggemann .
action
The film is divided into five parts ( autumn , winter , spring , summer , and then ) and tells the confusing story of eight friends who support each other with their moves. While some fall in love, others end their relationships - and vice versa.
The film begins when Dina and Wiebke move into their newly founded flat share in Berlin . Michael gets to know the clique when he brings Maria from the wrong move to the right one.
Since Wiebke wants to sell her old washing machine, Michael reports as interested and starts a short relationship with her, which ends quickly because Michael invites his three friends to a meeting of the two at a bathing lake instead of devoting himself exclusively to Wiebke .
Philipp's girlfriend Maria intends to move into the vacated room in his shared apartment. Shortly afterwards, however, Thomas and Jessica's approval of the apartment was not given, so the two of them stayed in the shared apartment for the time being. Thats gonna be close. Nevertheless, Maria wants to move from Freiburg to Berlin. On the way there, she confronts Philipp with his old love affair with Dina. He does not deny his affection and is then left by Maria in a motorway parking lot. Maria drives on alone and for the first few days in Berlin lives in the hold of the van that she used to move.
On Christmas Eve, the parents of Philipp, Wiebke and Swantje announce that they separated twenty years ago and only pretended to have a healthy family life because of the children. The father has long had a new lover. Swantje freaks out and feels cheated about her childhood. The mother begins to suffer from hallucinations after the divorce and can no longer be left alone.
Meanwhile Michael begins a relationship with Dina, which leads to a conflict with Wiebke. Since Dina wants to use contraception naturally and Michael cannot come to terms with it, he begins an affair with Jessica, who is later left by Thomas. Dina is already pregnant by Michael when she discovers the affair with Jessica. The two split up, but later regretfully get back together.
The separation from Jessica and Thomas intensifies Swantje's telephone contact with him. However, since Thomas does not show her interest, Swantje takes the initiative himself, hitchhiked from Stuttgart to Berlin and assaults Thomas with a challenging kiss.
Jessica and Michael are looking for their birth fathers and are surprised to find that it is the same doctor from Munich, "an asshole" who has been living in a secluded mountain hut for years and no longer wants to know anything about his old life or his children.
In the credits you see all eight friends at an art exhibition. Together they look at a huge mural. They gradually leave the museum in pairs. Only then does the camera pan onto the painting: a colorful portrait of the group.
Reviews
“Several young women and men, friends from a Berlin student flat-sharing community, lurch through various turbulences in their search for suitable life and love plans. An optimistic, extremely entertaining group comedy with excellent actors, a fluid narrative rhythm and clearly contoured characters. With a good portion of self-irony, but also noticeable empathy for the weaknesses of the characters, the intensely atmospheric attitude towards life and orientation movements of young people convey themselves.
“[Brüggemann's] turbulent moving comedy picks up furiously after a somewhat slow start and scores with unused ideas on the assembly line. [...] They still exist, the untold stories - with "3 rooms / kitchen / bathroom" Dietrich Brüggemann dedicates himself to an unusual topic and uses the chaos of moving as a stage for a strong comedy. It is easy to get over the fact that the film starts slowly, sometimes a few gags fizzle out and the plot twists and turns at the end. "
"3 rooms / kitchen / bathroom is a hybrid of fervent Feel-Bad-Feel-Good and generation portrait, somehow undecided, sometimes vain, sometimes ironically narcissistic, but that's the way it should be."
“3 rooms / kitchen / bathroom takes a mostly annoying topic - moving - as a basis and conjures up an authentic portrait of eight friends between the happiness of love and life chaos. One or the other idea in between is exaggerated, but the funny and touching scenes and the sympathetic actors make up for it. "
music
The soundtrack consists largely of songs by the English musician Fyfe Dangerfield and his band Guillemots . The credits show the song We Hate The Kids by The Indelicates . Shortly before that, the song Nothing as We Know It can be heard by the Hamburg band Die Sterne . In the film, Thomas asks both Jessica and Swantje about this song while he is sitting at the computer. While Jessica doesn't know what to do with it, Swantje says that even as a child (the song appeared on the album Wo ist hier in 1999 ) she hopped through the living room and that she knew that if you listened to the song too often instead of “like us know ”at some point hears “ how we scan ”.
