action
The depressed Viktor is convinced that love does not exist and has made it his mission to convince everyone else of it too.
He meets his school friend Otto again and, to the displeasure of his friend Therese, moves in with him temporarily. There he finds a copy of Don Quixote . During the night a man appears in his room who introduces himself as Don Quixote from Treuenbrietzen . Viktor now considers himself chosen to be Don Quixote's successor. The good-natured Otto agrees to become Viktor's assistant. So they steal love films from a video store and try to convince a young woman not to marry.
Besides, Otto has to solve his own problems. When he and Viktor prevent an unfortunate psychiatrist from committing suicide, the latter motivates him in return to resume his dream and study medicine. Viktor also finally reunites with his former girlfriend Klara.
background
The film got by on a budget of only € 10,000. All actors, including the well-known actors Rolf Zacher and Samuel Finzi , took part without payment.
The connection to the small town of Treuenbrietzen in Brandenburg arises from Rolf Zacher's long residence. After its premiere at the Babylon cinema in Berlin , the film was the first to be shown in Treuenbrietzen.
Reviews
The Berlin city magazine tip described the film as a “Berlin very low budget comedy full of wonderful absurdities and laconic humor”.
The Tagesspiegel wrote : “'Die Liebe und Viktor' is a 'very low budget' film that was shot for just 10,000 euros, for which Banush plundered his account. A film without funding, without a broadcaster. If you were mean, you could say: you can see that. Because the light is often bad and sometimes the picture wobbles. But you could also say: the film doesn't need any money. [...] 'Die Liebe und Viktor' is a Berlin film, [...] touching, laconic, incredibly funny. "
