action
One day Gino, a sixteen-year-old guest worker boy, is hired by his boss, a well-respected owner of a quarry, to monitor his divorced wife. The boy agrees and one day takes a liking to the much older lady, who tries successfully as a romancière. The inclination is soon reciprocated, and yet it is clear to the writing ex-wife that no blessing can rest on this relationship, the two worlds are too different and the resulting opportunity for mutual communication is too different.

Reviews
“Much is puzzling, not compelling, everything is psychologically exaggerated. Great photographed. "
“The outsider director Ottomar Domnick is tempted by his main occupation - he is a well-known neurologist - to confuse art with clinic. In his second feature film (the first: Jonas ) he carefully recorded the symptoms that a divorced couple shows after several years of separation, but nothing more than a psychopathological protocol was made. The visual presentation resembles a selection from photographic yearbooks: every shot is stylized into an attractive image with noticeable effort, without resulting in a film style. "
Paimann's film lists summed up: "Again, instead of new artistic territory, offering exaggeration, with little film-savvy chamber theater cast and equipment, dialogue fragments, quotations from romance, acoustic and optical underlining, cultivated boredom and only friends of the attempt that deviates from the conventional, tolerably interesting."
“The Stuttgart neurologist and experimental filmmaker Domnick confronts two levels of existence and narration that interpenetrate and comment on one another: the real world of everyday life (shaped by the pursuit of material security) and the unreal world of dreams, art, and unfulfilled wishes. An idiosyncratic film that is often difficult to access because of its literary encryption; Interesting not only as an exemplary outsider production in the German cinema a few years before the start of Junge Deutsche Kino.
