action
The young Rieke Hollstein is picked up by her father Klaus from the psychiatric clinic to which she was admitted because of a bipolar disorder . On the way, Rieke asks him to stop briefly because she has to. To the alarm of her father, however, she disappears without a trace. Before that, she had sent her partner Benno Pflüger a message that she was sorry and then turned off her cell phone. Rieke, who climbed a tree to stretch out on a long branch and then suddenly dropped, fortunately did not get seriously injured when she fell from a height of 10 meters and was hospitalized with fractures .
Eight weeks later, Pflüger, who is very worried about his partner, is looking for the psychotherapist and psychologist Dr. Maximilian Bloch, whom he has trusted since he fell in love with his daughter Leonie years ago. Bloch is skeptical about being able to help Rieke as long as she refuses to accept help, but wants to speak to her. The first encounter with Rieke Hollstein turns out to be strange. A conversation with Rieke's father shows Bloch that he simply does not want to admit how things are with his daughter and blocks all thoughts in this direction. From Riekes attending physician in psychiatry Dr. Anja Dietrich learns from Bloch that the young woman vacillates between highly euphoric and manic phases with deep depression. In her euphoric phases, she denies suicidal intentions and insists on not being mentally ill, which is supported by her father.
Bloch tries to talk to Rieke's father again to find out more about his daughter's past. He learns that father and daughter lived in Canada for a long time and that Rieke's mother died when she was six years old. The treating doctor was sued unsuccessfully by Klaus Hollstein, he firmly believes that she could have been saved.
When Benno Pflüger is once again looking for Rieke with Bloch, he catches her having sex with the carer Jonas on a high seat. After a high phase, Rieke is now back in a deep valley. Benno can't cope with it that easily and asks insistent questions. The situation came to a head during the night. Benno leaves the apartment with their five-year-old daughter Emma. Rieke is left alone. A little later she rioted in front of the house where Benno's sister Sarah lived, where Benno and Emma had fled. Benno ensures that Rieke is admitted to the psychiatric clinic again. At the instigation of her father and under the pretense that she is already working with a therapist, a judge orders that Rieke is allowed to leave the clinic.
Instead of staying with her father, as agreed, Rieke goes back to the apartment she and Benno live in and has a bathroom. There she dreams in the tub of the time when she was little and her mother was still with her. It is not just coincidence that Benno suspects the danger in which Rieke is. Together with Bloch and Rieke's father, they find Rieke standing on the dam wall of a dam. She toyed with the idea of jumping into the deep. Bloch finds the words that make Rieke hesitate, whereupon her father can pull her off the wall. Now finally Klaus Hollstein also realizes that his daughter has to seek treatment, as does Rieke, who now wants to take this path, especially in the interests of her little daughter
production
Filming, production notes
Hot and Cold Soul was filmed in Baden-Baden from November 8th to December 9th, 2011 . Uwe Franke was responsible for the production , the editing for SWR was with Brigitte Dithard, for WDR with Nina Klamroth.
Jonathan Dümcke , who played the role of Tommy Born from episode 3, has his last appearance in this series. His mother Clara thinks it is better that he look for a place in a shared apartment so that he can finally grow out of his infancy, after Tommy does not really know what to do after graduating from high school. He does not want to study or accept admission to a journalism school, to which he had only applied after pressure and was accepted.
Screenwriter Silke Zertz said that the euphoric phases of her heroine were “much more fun” than the depressive ones, because then “her imagination could really let off steam” and she was really allowed to “let it rip”, even when they did “Undercurrent of danger” always had to be “noticeable”. Rieke Hollstein moves "on the razor blade", so to speak. The "light, crazy, powerful" could "turn into the opposite" at any time.
For Michael Verhoeven this is forgiven, not forgetting his second film in this series. With Die Lavenderkönigin he directed his third 'Bloch' film and at the same time the 24th and last episode of the Bloch television series .

criticism
TV Spielfilm awarded the film two out of three possible points for demand and tension, one for eroticism and the best possible rating “thumbs up” and drew the conclusion: “Depressing soul crime, famously played”.
Rainer Tittelbach gave the film four out of six possible stars on his tittelbach.tv website and stated: “The film does not analyze a clinical picture, but places great value on the communicative environment. That is the movie's strength. Instead, this 'Bloch' episode weakens dramatically. Great: Katharina Schüttler! ”This Bloch shows“ what this biomechanical fireworks in the head does with the main protagonist ”. The film [...] defines “the disease at the same time through the patient's environment”. Nevertheless, “'Hot and Cold Soul', this film about a bipolar disorder, suffers from too much trappings and from its bipolar dramaturgy”. Since "Katharina Schüttler can act as urgently - 'hot and cold soul' [is] a weaker 'Bloch'".
Jens Müller wrote in the daily newspaper that “the 'Bloch' recipe” includes “the duel principle”. "Dieter Pfaff" is "contrasted as a patient with another brilliant actor thick ship". Here it is "the highly praised Katharina Schüttler, whose portrayal of Rieke alone makes the film a highlight".
In Focus Online it was read that Bloch trudged through the story "as if through thick fog". Katharina Schüttler, who plays the role of Rieke, is "sensitive to bare all strands of the soul, always smart enough to play the actually normal ones, who have a 'reasonable' explanation ready for everything". Rainer Bock, who plays Rieke's father, is "equal to her in terms of psychological chamber play".
The film service praised: “(TV) drama, tailored to the high-profile main actor. Another part of the 'Bloch' series, which deals with mental illnesses and their treatment in a challenging and entertaining way. - From 14. "
On the website evangelisch.de it was said that for Katharina Schüttler this role was “both a gift and a challenge”. The actress lived out “the manic moments” in particular, “with pleasure”, to which screenwriter Zertz gave her plenty of opportunity. This time too, Dieter Pfaff embodies Bloch "as a solid rock". And even if Rainer Bock (alluding to the previous 'Bloch' case The Stranger ) is “not Vadim Glowna ”, “he embodies this father figure, torn between paranoia and sincere love, very credibly”. The same also applies to Christian Näthe as Rieke's partner, who "looks like a spoilsport compared to her euphoria". The horizontal plane with Bloch's partner and her son "just distracts from the essentials". Cornelia Janssen, on the other hand, “succeeded in taking some painfully beautiful pictures in late autumn bathing”.
In the Tagesspiegel Thilo Wydra wrote that Michael Verhoeven's film approaches the “sensitive complex of issues in a sensitive way”. The staging is "quiet and calm", the "dialogues" are "precisely set". The film rests very “on the antagonism between Dieter Pfaffs Bloch and Katharina Schüttler's Rieke - this sedate giant and the fidgety fragile”. The film draws “a sensitive portrait of a deeply torn young woman who does not know every hour, every day”, “where to go”.
