action

For four years Hannelore has been caring for her husband, who is suffering from dementia. Everything revolves around the care and needs of Klaus, who can no longer find his way in everyday life and can neither wash nor eat alone. Every day Hannelore endures the fact that her husband, with whom she has been married for 40 years, no longer recognizes her and even spits on or hits her in his helplessness.

Hannelore is at the end of her tether. One day she escapes headlong from the apartment and secretly follows her neighbor Günther, whom she happens to see on the train, to his holiday home on Rügen . Günther also suffers and wants to put an end to his solitude after he has lost his partner. When Hannelore unexpectedly stands in front of him at the terminus, Günther is anything but enthusiastic. The initial defense slowly turns into openness and the two of them learn to trust each other step by step. Two injured souls, who actually do not know each other, give each other hope and support in a time of apparent hopelessness.

criticism

For the film-dienst , forget your end was a "precise drama captured with a psychological eye, which shines with excellent actors and elegantly connects the different time levels through the excellent montage." Zitty praised the fact that the film "with all the thematic tragedy never goes into the sentimental kipppt ”, while Gerrit ter Horst described the film as“ a convincing work of soft tones ”, which“ deals with a highly topical topic in a very subtle and unobtrusive way. ”

Kannegießer “frees itself from the chronological narrative structure through a sophisticated assembly technique. That makes this diploma film together with the fantastic actors an extraordinary and moving cinematic experience, ”wrote Zeit Online .
