action

During her farewell party, the chief secretary Hanne Dührsen found out that her long-time supervisor had died in a car accident. Despite the shock, she tries to be professional and brings her strike over with without mentioning his death. The next morning, the newly minted pensioner hands over the keys to her apartment to a painting company and takes the train to Wilhelmshaven, where she finally wants to have her varicose veins removed in a clinic. But the long-planned operation does not come about: Dr. Hamed, her attending doctor, explains to her that the preliminary examinations revealed abnormalities in her blood count that could indicate acute myeloid leukemia . Since he does not want to commit himself and further laboratory tests are necessary at the weekend, he asks the shocked Hanne to come back the following Monday so that we can discuss the results together. She then decides to stay in Wilhelmshaven and quickly checks into a nearby hotel.

When, contrary to her doctor's recommendation, Hanne searches for the potential diagnosis on the Internet, she struggles to calm down. With her friends, however, she does not mention the news during a phone call and she does not want to burden her son with her worries at first. In a local she can confide in the lingerie seller Uli that same evening. The two dissimilar women become friends and decide to move around the houses together. The night ends for the two in a drunkenness. During her hangover breakfast the next morning, Hanne rediscovers the name of her old childhood sweetheart Heiner in a company vehicle in front of her hotel room window. She decides to call him, and the two arrange a meeting on the premises of Heiner's construction company. At lunch together, the two ponder on past times and Hanne kisses Heiner, who initially mistook her for another ex-girlfriend. After work, she accompanies him home, where the two spend the night together and Hanne then sneaks away.

On Sunday morning, Hanne received a call from her son Tim, who had wanted to visit her unannounced at home and only met the employees of the painting company there. She persuades him to come to Wilhelmshaven without further ado, where he tells his mother over breakfast that he is going to be a father. Hanne, torn between the joy for her son and the prospect of not being able to witness the birth of her first grandchild, falls into impatience and panic and decides after Tim's departure to call Dr. To speak to Hamed. She lets a taxi take her to his home address, where he is currently disguised as a clown and is organizing a children's birthday party. The doctor tries to calm the angry Hanne, but it is increasingly difficult for him to switch off. When she then walks home across the fields, she gets caught in a rain shower. She finds refuge on the high seat of the hunter Sveni, who then takes her to his farm and introduces her to his family. There she receives a recipe from his grandmother for a crib soup, which Hanne prepares in the hotel kitchen with the help of the friendly receptionist Sophie that same night after her return to the hotel and as a precaution would like to freeze it for her unborn grandchild. The doctor comes to her the next morning. A two-part screen with a serious and an optimistic Hanne leaves the diagnosis open.

Reviews

The leading actress Iris Berben received positive reviews for her play in the film.

“Hanne is polite, personable, but likes to keep her distance from people: A figure as written for Iris Berben, who has gotten better and better in the course of her films with Matti Geschonneck in recent years and a real brilliant achievement in this Arte / NDR coproduction delivers ”, judged Tilmann P. Gangloff in his review for Tittelbach.tv . The film is “a drama without excessively played and staged emotions. It is a road movie without a car, carefully told, more a reflection on life than death. And a touch of Nouvelle Vague blows through the pictures. "

Frank Junghänel from Frankfurter Rundschau described Hanne as a “moving TV film”, which, however, is more predictable than other films by Dominik Graf. Junghänel found that the title role "was of course a gift for an actress like Iris Berben [...]," because the film's station dramaturgy offered her the chance to draw her character, Hanne, in quick strokes. Berben succeeds “here again in correcting her glamorous image. But her game almost always shows the ambition to really do justice to this role profile. Even if she lets go, it is a controlled let go. Iris Berben is just like Hanne. "

“For Dominik Graf, the ten-time Grimme Prize winner in very different genres, it is the first collaboration with the trained psychologist Beate Langmaack. Certain stylistic devices and homages, such as the well-known zooms, the bow to the spaghetti western, can also be found here and can probably be fully traced and assigned to the “work” using film detective means. But none of this is important or decisive in order to honor Hanne as a television film whose movement into the open air of an indefinite fate immediately takes with it [...] Iris Berben plays this Hanne with great appropriateness and through a certain distance depiction in a heartbreaking way ", Heike Hupertz wrote in her review for the Frankfurter Allgemeine .

“That sounds hard like deluxe television production. There is a danger that the existential theme, the great director and the great actress will turn the great wheel of genius. But this is exactly the danger that Hanne does not succumb to, ”said Harald Hordych from the Süddeutsche Zeitung . The film developed its size “from a fine sense of humor, sometimes rough humor, excellent dialogues.” Graf had “made no big deal out of this game with fear of death, but with a consistently brilliant cast of actors, he proves touchingly and entertainingly that with the To cope with the pitfalls of the finite life is anything but a trifle ”.
