action
Lina Braake is 81 years old. She lives in a tenement house, where the owner has granted her a lifelong right of residence. When he dies, however, his debts are offset against the value of the house. The house now belongs to the bank. The bank starts renovating the house and moves Lina Braake to an old people's home . The old woman is angry about it, but doesn't know what to do. In the old people's home she meets the 84-year-old retired bank clerk Gustav Härtlein, who is incapacitated for various bank frauds and can no longer be held responsible under criminal law. In him she found the right partner to take revenge on the bank. Gustav can convince Lina that a country house in Sardinia is a much better place for the last years of life. All they lack is the money they need to make their dream come true. But Gustav has an idea for this. Together they draft a plan of credit fraud at the bank, which even succeeds in its implementation. The money from the fraudulent loan is given to a Sardinian guest worker who uses it to buy the house in Sardinia and Lina receives lifelong right to live there. However, the bank finds out about her a little later and Lina Braake is charged, but can no longer be convicted due to her old age.
Reviews
"Comedy told and played excellently with bizarre humor, wit and fantasy, which campaigns for the rights of old people."
“I have never seen a film in which the walk, the gestures, the lingering, the calm and the perseverance of the actors, despite the frailty of old age, impressed me so much and gave me a new experience of the movement of old people - like now 'Lina Braake'. There is a grace that is dignity, wrested from bodily decline. This can, especially young people who have not yet experienced something like this, enthrall, inspire, and incidentally also encourage them to keep upright gait, self-confidence, courage and wit for themselves or to develop them in the first place. Don't be intimidated - if it were just what this comedy conveys, it would be a lot. "
The film received the rating "Particularly valuable" from the Wiesbaden film evaluation office . The reasoning in the FBW report states as follows:
“The film begins almost as a documentary: it shows the milieu of a retirement home with a view to a conceivable reality, but not without exaggeration, which target the areas of caricature. [...]. The film continues to thrive on an amusing idea that brings it to the area of a crook comedy that is very moderated here, but is not presented psychologically unbelievably. This is crucially due to the two main actors Lina Carstens and Fritz Rasp, who never get into an acting allure of any kind that leaves them with age. "
Awards
The film premiered at the International Forum of Young Films during the Berlinale 1975 and was awarded the Interfilm Award . At the 1975 German Film Prize , the film received the German Film Prize in Silver for Best Feature Film and Lina Carstens for the Best Actress the German Film Prize in Gold.
