action

Hanne and Kaare Eliassen celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary with their entire family, friends and invited guests. Kaare gives a touching speech to his wife. While the celebrations are still going on, Daniel Eliassen collapses and is admitted to the hospital. Here it turns out that he urgently needs a donor kidney. His father Kaare immediately agrees to donate the vital organ to his son. However, Hanne Eliassen has objections. However, Kaare wants Dr. Haugland tests his values, which he agrees to do. After the examination, the doctor tells him that he is out of the question, but that Daniel's biological father should also be included in the search due to the rare blood type that Daniel has. Kaare Eliassen thinks he didn't hear right. Hanne explains to her husband that having children together was one of their hearts' hearts. Since he couldn't father any children, she found a man who didn't ask any questions and didn't know anything about the children. She believed that he had implicitly agreed.

Kaare is deeply disappointed, as is Emma, ​​who is also Hanne's child with the unknown man and no longer understands the world. After a blood test it turns out that Hanne is also unsuitable as a donor. All that remains for Hanne is to look for Daniel's father, a meteorologist named Leif Sørensen. Since he has moved away unknown, Hanne comes up with the idea of ​​using a radio show to look for him. She quickly notices what effects this has, as many people in her place of residence now know and suddenly cut Hanne. After Hanne learns that Sørensen works on a remote island that she cannot reach alone, she decides to visit him there to talk to him personally. Although Kaare doesn’t want to, he is ready to join the chartered cutter as a machinist in Kaare’s interest. Emma, ​​who wants to see her real father at least once, is also on board. Although Hanne tries to talk to Kaare on the way, he doesn't want to get involved. When his wife goes overboard due to an awkwardness and falls into the ice-cold water, he jumps after her without even a second hesitation. When they have reached the island, he says, when Hanne asks if he isn't coming with them, she'll have to do it on her own. The young Ronny Stene, captain of the cutter, embraces the crying Emma, ​​while Leif Sørensen assures Hanne on the ward that he has already packed his things and wanted to go to the hospital. He was just waiting for his replacement, because you can't just leave a weather station to itself. After the cutter has docked, there is another argument between Hanne and Kaare, at the end of which she hurls at her husband that it is not he who is leaving her, but that she is leaving him, and now.

It just happened that, shortly before the kidney transplant, Daniel found out that the donor of his kidney was also his biological father. Dr. Haugland announces to the waiting family, which has also been joined by Ronny, who is now with Emma, ​​that the operation went well and that both Daniel and Leif Sørensen are well. When Emma thanks her biological father, he says it is nice that she and her brother exist. Kaare has now recognized that his wife only acted like this out of love for him and asks her to take him back, because she is absolutely right, such a great love, it does not go away so easily.

criticism

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm pointed with their thumbs to the side, which corresponds to a mean rating, and said, according to the press release, "the wild, rough nature reflects the emotions of the protagonists", with "in this case even something" , and summarized: "Solid melody with convincing actors."

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv gave the film four out of six possible stars and said: “A great moment in TV melodrama.” Speidel and Teska would “shine and mental sensitivities” would be “projected into the images”. The critic continued: “'The song of the wind' from the new ARD series 'Liebe am Fjord' is a melodrama and as such a good one. It starts with the script idea of ​​a boat trip on a sloppy boat through the Norwegian fjords, which becomes a journey into a world of emotions and is never misused as a tourist attraction. The basic conflict is not heated up unnecessarily and dramatically, but struck like a musical keynote. Director Tiefenbacher relies on the power of the picture, on the power of the eyes. And there he found his masters, especially in the female leading actors Jutta Speidel and the highly talented Karoline Teska. A must for friends of sophisticated melodrama! "

The television magazine Prisma certified Matthias Tiefenbacher “his instinct for dramatic material” and also certified this film, which was made “against the wonderful natural backdrop of Norwegian fjords”, to have made a family drama “which is also convincing thanks to the good actors”.

On the Kino.de website , Tilmann P. Gangloff (tpg) dealt with the film and the question of “what the eponymous song of the wind has to do with the story”, which “even after long pondering” does not reveal itself one can assume "that it will be quite stormy in between". “Kremp and Speidel” played the conflict that the couple had to fight out “very convincingly”. The critic described Karoline Teska, who embodies the daughter Emma, ​​as "a wonderful young actress anyway". The story could “of course take place everywhere”, but the film, which is the “prelude to the new film series 'Love at the Fjord'” and therefore takes place in the rough and beautiful landscape of Norway, is always “the cameraman Klaus Merkel captured again in expressive pictures.

Filmdienst .de summarized: “(TV) family drama based on emotional overwhelming, spread with a lot of sentiment in front of the picturesque backdrop of the Norwegian coast. - From 14. "

The critic Marco Croner rated the film forquotemeter.de, the rate of which showed 46 percent, and was of the opinion that Tiefenbacher's drama was "continuously losing traction". While the film still offers “captivating entertainment” at the beginning, one “increasingly loses oneself in repetitive scraps of dialogue, secondary influences and an insignificant dissolution that by no means does justice to the expectations that were initially built up”. Kremp is certified as having a "great performance", which is the "highlight" of the whole film and which is "joy", as is "the game of his no less talented colleague Jutta Speidel".
