action
No sooner has Angela left the educational institution than she happens to pass the nearby cement factory, whose noble owner seduced her and is now in jail for it. Angela meets the junior, stays with him and becomes his lover. But their being together is overshadowed by the impending return of the father. He survived his prison sentence with the nonchalance of the self-confident, successful businessman. How will he react to the fact that his son not only successfully led the work during his absence but also courted his underage lover? The re-encounter, however, is completely undramatic. Instead of the expected argument, Angela leaves the house. Father and son will continue their carefree and luxurious existence and will continue to share the still attractive housekeeper.
criticism
“The former photographer and actor Roger Fritz [...] proves his talent for visually appealing effects with his first feature film, but as an author turns out to be indictment. The superficial film looks like a nimble finger exercise; Fritz doesn't seem to be interested in the characters and their problems. "
“Although Roger Fritz's debut shows impartiality towards what is portrayed, it unfortunately also lacks any commitment, any approach to discussion and motivation and therefore remains completely non-binding. From 18 without recommendation. "
“What is upsetting about this story is its constructedness, which pretends to be reality without meeting it, is the author-director's lack of viewpoint, who evades the targeted conflicts, the actions of his characters are inadequate, psychologically justified and, above all, criminally neglects the social background . The result is a film of terrifying superficiality. "
