Reviews
“The first work of the short film director Peter Schamoni only partially succeeds in an alternative to Grandpa's cinema, from which the signatory of the Oberhausen Manifesto wanted to distance himself. Clever in its critical approach and in the drawing of the milieu, the film lacks the analytical consistency in tracing social contexts; a basic tone of conciliatory noise cannot be ignored. "
“A German contemporary film that revolves around the problems of the 30-year-old generation with a sure sense of atmospheric authenticity using the example of two young people and illustrates their tendency to say no to a world to which they ultimately adapt. Formally noteworthy, sometimes undercooled in the profile of the topic, but as a result of a revival of active young German film for viewers 18 and older, worth seeing and discussing. "
