action
The 30-year-old Max works as an emergency doctor in a Berlin hospital. He's been in a relationship with the attractive Coco for a long time, with whom he shares a well-kept apartment. Coco jealously defends their relationship, while Max feels restricted in his freedom.
One day Max misdialles and falls in love with a voice on the other end of the phone that says just one word: "Hello". On nightly forays through the city, Max looks for the woman who heard the voice and hopes to avoid Coco's confined proximity. In a billiard parlor he finally meets Marie, who is accompanied by her partner Kurt.
Shortly afterwards, Marie and Max are involved in a car accident, which leads to them falling into each other's arms and making love on the street in the rain. When Max and Coco later have a party, Marie and Kurt are at the door as guests. As a result, Max and Marie try to couple their respective partners together.
Reviews
“As a body, Miss Kirchberger is a complete success, as an actress a disaster. The cool, wicked bedroom sentences that van Ackeren put in her mouth, she drags down like a Tibetan love mill, the lustfulness she puts on in front of the camera is as exciting as a pimple cream. "
“The fact that Sonja Kirchberger, as Coco, wears the wardrobe of van Ackeren's co-author Katharina Zwerenz and otherwise gives the impression that she was cloned from her, doesn't make her a star. But since the copied PR concept calls for one, the Viennese woman is built up. The press needs stars, and so does this film to hide its flirtatious insignificance ”
"The speculation piece presents the luxury problem - a Berlin doctor (Horst Günther Marx) is frustrated by his girlfriend (Kirchberger) and is looking for a new one (Myriem Roussel) - using the means of luxury cinema: lots of beautiful people in lots of beautiful apartments."
