action
A couple in their mid-thirties moves to the country and - in view of the renovation of the house - is confronted with each other's different life concepts. As a transition, they then turn to other partners.
background
In the opening scene of the film, “Come into my world” runs in the well-known version by Kylie Minogue . This piece is interpreted in the credits by Vic Chesnutt, mostly instrumental, much more sluggish and less illusionary, but also warmer and more approachable.
reception
The film service said that the film created a portrait of “people who do not want to be at home in their lives” “loosely based on Goethe's elective affinities”. The film approaches the "characters refreshingly carefree", whereby "this spontaneous gesture is repeatedly broken by paper dialogues and symbolic charges".
