Auerhaus is a German film drama directed by Neele Leana Vollmar , based on the bestselling novel Auerhaus by Bov Bjerg .
action
The farmer's son Frieder is about to graduate and tries to kill himself with pills. He is found, rescued and ends up in psychiatry. His school colleague Höppner visits him there, actually less because Frieder is so close to his heart, but because he needs someone to do his homework.
Frieder is allowed to leave psychiatry and, together with Höppner and two other classmates, Höppner's friend Vera and the outsider Cäcilia, sets up a shared apartment in the Auerhaus.
What looked like a good idea at first brings numerous problems. With his depression, Frieder is like a ticking time bomb. Höppner's relationship with his girlfriend turns out to be more difficult than expected and his plan to avoid the muster does not work either.
The film ends as the viewer was told in the prologue: Frieder kills himself after all, but consoles his roommates in a farewell letter.

reception
The FBW awarded the film the title "particularly valuable":
“During the discussion, the jury was impressed by the film's narrative style. [...] And in fact, AUERHAUS can also be seen as a brilliant coming-of-age film, which, despite contemporary references, is also valid for today's generations. [...] AUERHAUS is the extremely successful adaptation of the novel of the same name by Bov Bjerg: compassionate and entertaining, exciting and informative at the same time. "
The lexicon of international films praises the implementation of the novel:
“The adaptation of the novel of the same name by Bov Bjerg exactly matches the mood of the original and cleverly captures the feeling of adolescence between departure and fear of failure. The film, which is played credibly in the leading roles, captures the atmosphere of the 1980s precisely through its equipment and soundtrack. "
The world expresses harsh criticism of the deviations from the book:
“[The deviation] would be bearable if the film didn't break the book's - admittedly high - bar at the most delicate point: the core topic of depression. [...] The film [...] simply assumes that any attempt to dissuade a suicidal person from suicide is pointless anyway. But that the causes are ultimately in the dark does not mean that there are none and that they cannot be combated. "
