Makatsch with playing partner Blomberg: "At what age does sexual desire actually stop?"
Photo: SWR/Daniel Dornhöfer
The scenario:
One lover, two ladies.
A rich, eccentric widow (Ulrike Krumbiegel) dies of an insulin shock, inspector Berlinger (Heike Makatsch) is the only one who believes in external influence and digs herself into the case.
The target is the dead girl's bosom friend (Michaela May), who, in her quiet, gentle manner, is the exact opposite of the others.
However, the ladies had one thing in common: half their age, the ex-con Hannes (Klaus Steinbacher), who served as the widow's willing pleasure slave and as a romantic projection surface for the other.
Young fruit, mature ladies, very suspicious.
Berlinger believes he has already found the murderer.
The highlight:
Black widow vs pure soul?
In a web of forwards and flashbacks, the relationship between the two friends is revealed and what their young
love interest
is all about.
The game with the time levels is staged confidently - however, the female figures remain one-dimensional despite sophisticated cuts and jumps.
The picture:
Leather porn in a luxury villa: In a flashback you can see how the widow, who later died, in suspenders and hot pants, drives the ex-prisoner through her house on a leash.
This fetish fever dream is supposed to suggest wickedness.
The dialogue:
Inspector Berlinger and colleague Rascher (Sebastian Blomberg) ponder the connection between the younger man and the two older women.
Rascher: “At what age does sexual desire actually stop?”
Berlinger: "Does it ever stop?"
Rascher: "Maybe at some point it will be more about the longing for security, tenderness, trust?"
Berlinger: »Sex stays sex.«
The review:
3 out of 10 points.
Love, lust, murder beyond the age of 60 - despite the high tempo and the sleek pictures, the pictures are very conservative.
