Before he sets off on the trip, however, he wants to prevent Vince from finally solving his problems with Grimm.

Back at the train station, Frederik is finally overwhelmed by the police. Mrs. Reicherts, one of Frederik's colleagues, had betrayed him. The film ends with Frederik, in handcuffs, and Nadine smiling at each other at the train station.

Reviews

"Gravity works both as an in-depth character study and as a drama and subversive comedy and manages to always remain grounded and life-affirming, audience-accessible, entertaining, playful and surprising despite its slightly inflated narrative."

- Justification for the Max Ophüls Festival 2010

“After the suicide of a desperate customer, the otherwise tidy bank clerk Frederik is nervous - and becomes a passionate burglar. It is not a long way for the hero from the socially sanctioned "fraud", as he practiced it as a banker, to the forbidden side of criminal activity. The cinematic narrative captivates with its magical day-night structure, which is characterized by double life. The play of unpredictability by the outstanding trio of actors Hinrichs, Vogel & von Waldstätten is also magical. The coherent score rounds off the psychophysical masterpiece. "
