Love on the Fjord - The woman on the beach

Sog der Gezeiten is a German TV film by Jörg Grünler from 2013 . It is the seventh episode of the ARD film series Love at the Fjord , but what connects the individual films is that they are set against the backdrop of Norwegian fjords and have romantic melodramas as their content.

Das Erste wrote about the first broadcast of the film: “In the melodrama from the series 'Love at the Fjord' , Esther Schweins, as an ambitious architect, has to recalculate the statics of her emotional life. In the other leading roles, Hendrik Duryn as a personable boat builder and Stephanie Japp as a wife who struggles with her fate convince. In addition, Markus Knüfken , Sina Knecht , Peter Prager and Teresa Harder appear as competent pastors. Under Jörg Grünler's sensitive direction, the disturbing story comes to a head dramatically. The imposing stave church of Borgund gives the film its very own atmosphere. "

action

The Norwegian architect Agnes Wallem, who recently started her own business, has to travel to a coastal city in the country for her first major project for a presentation. There by the Sognefjord , she is supposed to design a parish hall that fits the stave church next to it , one of the most beautiful and oldest in the country. When Agnes goes to a reception in her honor, she recognizes the woman in the mayor Luisa Storstein, because of whom her great love, the shipbuilding engineer Kristian, has not come back to her. She had left Kristian in the mistaken belief that she still had to look for something, but quickly realized that Kristian is the man she wanted to spend her life with and start a family with. Now he and Luisa and little Mia are the family she wanted with him.

Thoughtfully, she wonders why Luisa gave her the job of all people. The fact that Agnes and Kristian are getting closer doesn't seem to bother her either, on the contrary. Kristian, however, is irritated and believes that his wife is having an affair. This is also supported by the fact that she takes appointments that she does not speak about and is quite often absent, even overnight. After an excursion into the mountains, where there are old rock paintings that Agnes would like to integrate into the new object, she and Kristian sleep together. Afterwards, however, they decide that one cannot turn back time and that everyone has to live their lives, but they want to meet one last time. On this day, however, the neurologist Jonas Tjersland appears, with whom Agnes has been in a relationship for some time. He notices very quickly that something is wrong with Agnes and tries to talk to her.

When Kristian celebrates his birthday a little later, Agnes and Jonas are also guests of the party. There is a tense atmosphere between him and Kristian but also between him and Agnes. Jonas decides to return home. The next day, Agnes sees Luisa collapse on the steps of the stave church. After Agnes acts on her, she tells her that she is terminally ill and will die. She assures Agnes that she wants her to get back together with Kristian, that she is the woman he has always loved. Agnes tells Kristian everything, who rushes home immediately. Luisa is not there, however. An assumption makes Kristian and Agnes rush into the mountains, Luisa is standing on a ledge by the fjord. She is determined to jump into the depths, Kristian can pull her back just in time. Perhaps she will have the operation carried out after all, which the doctors advised her and which promises hope of a cure. Because Kristian and little Mia need them.

Agnes calls Jonas from the ship and says she would like to come home, if it is good for him, then she would really like to come home.

criticism

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm pointed their thumbs down and said that the answers at the end of the film would "unfortunately stunned the viewer" like the architect Agnes. Conclusion: "This fjord goes very deep ..."

Rainer Tittelbach gave the film three out of six possible stars on his website tittelbach.tv and said that the film left you “a little perplexed”. He continued: “Neither the dramaturgy nor the politics of feelings are right here, and the actors are not convincing either. At best, the film, which is well-photographed, looks as if it was not clear to the makers from the start how the story would end up in pairs. Although Jörg Grünler's film shows everything in terms of drama that once distinguished the genre, this fjord fairy will probably leave fans of the old melodrama school unsatisfied. [...] If the wife were to play with open cards, the fjord excursion and the film would have ended quickly. But even if you give the genre a certain 'trickyness' - this story, with the strange complicity into which the viewer is forced, doesn't work, back and forth; but it's not much better in the middle of Jörg Grünler's film either. ”The critic was of the opinion that“ apart from Stephanie Japp ”the actors“ couldn't convince ”. Esther Schweins had "strangely frozen facial features" and "the acting contribution by sympathetic Hendrik Duryn" was "his questioning" what-happens-to-me "look. And the friend of the heroine, played by the lightweight Markus Knüfken ”, is“ the born loser ”. [...] "Very benevolent" are "just 3 stars in it!"

The West wrote that "the story of the nested melodrama" is "better than its title". [...] "The mixture" develops "into a complex relationship story" [...] and is "not the good-mood kitsch that the name suggests". Leading actress Esther Schweins and her colleagues played down "their parts routinely, really convincing" could "but not the melodrama". The "backdrop of Norway" is "not linked to the story at all [...] the story can also find its place in the foothills of the Alps". [...] “Die Macher” stuck to “the strange tradition of German television productions to consistently Germanize foreign locations”.

Frank Jürgens could n't get anything out of the film in the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung and made this very clear in his criticism by writing: “Esther Schweins goes to the ARD lowlands of love on the fjord - pull of the tides [...] and commits collective refusal to perform with all those involved. ”[…]“ Of course, the 'Love at the Fjord' series has never been a source of creative inspiration. But this “pull of the tides” borders on malicious refusal to perform. Although the story contains a lot of potential for conflict, director Jörg Grünler and the two authors Maria Solrun and Jörg Tensing do without any kind of dramatic tension. Instead, the film is accompanied by silly lines of dialogue right up to the uninspired, yes, annoying end: 'In a place like this, time goes by much more slowly.' Much slower. "

For the film service , the film was a: “Emotional (TV) romance round dance full of pseudo conflicts, which at best offers impressive equipment and picturesque backdrops. - From 14. "
