I Phone You ( Chinese  愛 封 了  /  爱 封 了 , Pinyin Àifēng le ) is a German-Chinese film by the director Tang Dan from 2011 .

action

Ling, a female flower clown, meets businessman Yu in Chongqing . The film begins with her waking up alone in a hotel room. Yu, who lives in Berlin, has an iPhone delivered to her. This is how their telephone relationship begins. She gets into her head to see him again and flies to Berlin. Only after she has landed in Berlin does she inform Yu about it. He tells you to wait there. But there she is not picked up by Yu, but by Marco, Yu's bodyguard. But he tries to keep her away from Yu. When he admits this to her, she tries to see Yu again alone. Her two-day odyssey through Berlin begins, during which she loses passport and money, gets a dog, is kidnapped and arrested.

Marco gets into trouble with his boss Yu because Ling got away from him, with his girlfriend because she is jealous and with Ling because he has become intrusive and she distrusts him. But he is drawn to the brave and headstrong manner of Ling, and he is ready to switch fronts after Ling learns from Yu's wife that he is married.

Finally Marco drives her to Yu. She says goodbye to him in a way that surprises both of them. Marco, who has taken a liking to her, takes her to the airport while she throws away the iPhone, the symbol of her relationship with Yu, which Marco interprets in his favor. She won't let him persuade her and returns home to her old life as a happy clown who brings flowers and sings.

reception

For Peter Gutting, the film is a "good-humored love comedy" and a "finely drawn humoresque about the little mishaps of a multicultural everyday life".

For Jan Oberländer, however, the “Chinese-German Schmonzette” is “a Berlin type revue without added value”.
