action
The teacher Emily and the psychologist Gabriel are engaged. Gabriel sees a dancing couple and spontaneously decides to take dance lessons from Corinne for the wedding planned for a few weeks. He falls in love with the woman. It turns out that Corinne's friend and business associate Bud was friends with Emily in high school; he was her dance partner at the time.
Meanwhile, Corinne's colleague John woos the widowed Marguerite. One day Marguerite sees John and his friends handing out food to the homeless. Marguerite invites John to a restaurant and asks him to help her manage her fortune. She says his dealings with the homeless prove that he is a trustworthy man.
Gabriel speaks to Emily and demands that neither of them attend dance classes anymore. Emily refuses. She meets with Bud while Gabriel is about to drive to another city for a conference. Emily tells Bud that she was pregnant by him in high school, but the pregnancy broke off when Bud left town. Meanwhile, Gabriel meets with Corinne. Both couples meet when John calls Corinne and Bud about a burglar at the dance school.
Emily and Gabriel cancel the wedding; Gabriel moves out of the shared apartment. They both meet at John and Marguerite's wedding. Bud and Corinne make up at the party and dance together. Emily notices that some couples belong together and remembers her first meeting with Gabriel. In the last scene, Emily is shown during a class at school, while Gabriel brings their child to school.
Reviews
Film-Dienst wrote that the film was a " love comedy in a modern guise that lives above all from its good actors, who are relieved of every twist of the plot, as their characters are introduced in many layers ". He “ sometimes lacks the momentum ”, but offers “ lovable and tasteful entertainment ” and “ comes up with the 64-year-old, still girlish-looking Leslie Caron in an almost separate subplot ”.
The magazine TV direkt 23/2007 described the film as " hollow ".
The magazine TV Spielfilm wrote that the film was a " conservative " version of Dirty Dancing " for the elderly ".
