Andreas and Martin share all the ups and downs of everyday life, and their son is maturing. A cautious approach to the traces of a long relationship. The love story of two people.

Hmmm. This might well have worked better on paper, or perhaps even on stage where the confines of the sets might have given it greater intimacy. As a movie, though, it's all rather pedestrian. It's about two men (though it could easily be about any adult permutation) - "Andreas" (Mike Hoffman) and "Martin" (Mathis Reinhardt) who have a young son "Max" and a life together which we now enjoy/share/endure over a rather lengthy hundred minutes. It's not that it's dull - indeed there is a paucity of dialogue that works quite well at times, it's just that it's maybe a bit too much like real life. Not a great deal happens - and when it does, it's not necessarily that interesting to those watching or can appear a little dramatically contrived. The film is set over quite a long timeframe too, and there are gaps. Sometimes that is good but towards the end, though, that becomes rather puzzling - almost as if the writers just wanted to get it all over with. It's quite nicely filmed, but I felt a little like a fly on the wall watching something that wasn't that compelling or always any of my business.
