Mia is in debt and her solution to the problem is blackmail. The man whose lover she has been for a long time is supposed to pay. But the plan is not waterproof, because Mia actually feels differently for the man.

criticism

This section consists only of a cunning collection of quotes from movie reviews. Instead, a summary of the reception of the film should be provided as continuous text, which can also include striking quotations, see also the explanations in the film format .

"Malte Wirtz Film is an experiment, a quickly shot film that, given its short shooting time and the apparently very reduced funding, works surprisingly well and, above all, smoothly."

- Programmkino.de

“The portrait of young city dwellers, shot in a single day without a script, loses sight of its story because of sheer improvisation and becomes empty. The restlessness and indeterminacy of the protagonists is also reflected in the formal design of a restless camera and abrupt cuts. "

- Film service

“The improvised dialogues are sometimes drifting into the banal. Nevertheless, Malte Wirtz's 24-hour experiment occasionally succeeds in moments of immediacy. "

- Süddeutsche Zeitung

“The experimental approach, in which Wirtz simply provided his actresses with role profiles and a few specifications and sent stage directions to their mobile phones during the shoot, is more exciting than the result. Even the basic idea of ​​blackmail seems constructed and crude. Instead of following them consistently, the action between boat trip, balcony conversations and bar visits quickly turns into trivialities and assertions. "

Trivia

The picture that is stolen in the last scene is an original Jan van Eyck . The premiere party took place in the bar, in which a movie scene was shot: Chausseestrasse 131, which was then still called Larry.
