- Synopsis
- On the surface, Chris and Gitti are lost in perfect amorous bliss during their getaway in their Sardinia vacation home. But amidst their playful romps, secret rituals and silly habits belies an underlying tension. Full of verve, the idiosyncratic Gitti is fearless in expressing her love and devotion for Chris, while Chris is more reserved in his outlook on life and sports varying personal and professional degrees of insecurity.
  When they casually run into another, obviously happier and more successful, couple that on top of it all appears to be modern gender role proof, their relationship destabilizes. In a silly attempt at life style bootlegging, Chris begins to show his wilful girlfriend who is boss, with the result that Gitti´s faith in her partner takes a hard knock. She attempts to conform to his new ideal, but what begins as a playful experiment soon turns into a quiet struggle with her own personality. While Chris flourishes in his role as the stronger one of the two, Gitti begins to loosen up in a completely new way. With their newly developed personas, Chris and Gitti get a second chance to discover themselves -- and each other -- and to be as happy as everyone else...
  Award-winning director Maren Ade (“The Forest for the Trees”) portrays a couple and its contradictory longings with subtle humor and poignant accuracy. The result is an intimate story of love on the brinks and the lengths that one goes to for the sake of saving a relationship. Featuring outstanding performances by Birgit Minichmayr and Lars Eidinger.
