Trailer
Gitti and Chris are an awkward couple spending the holidays together, isolated in the country. A seemingly unimportant event – a meeting with another couple – has a shattering effect on their relationship. Not only is the other couple more successful, but they are also able to hide conventional gender roles behind a façade of modernity. An intimate portrait of two people and what they become when they are alone: their secret rituals, fooleries, unfulfilled dreams and their little power plays. Best actress and grand jury award at the Berlin Film Festival 2009.
