An incredibly intense piece of work—its cinematography is serene and dazzling, each frame breathtakingly beautiful. And yet, the story behind it is so raw and bloody, so brutally exposed, that it truly induces a visceral discomfort. The more you think about it, the more chilling it becomes. It’s a kind of disappointment and pain that goes far beyond something like "Plainclothes" — a level of revulsion you wouldn’t have imagined. The film’s visuals and storytelling absolutely deserve praise. Though the dual timelines aren’t a novel device, they’re executed with precision, and from beginning to end, it’s just heartbreak. The four lead actors are all outstanding, each role performed with striking nuance—definitely worth noting. All in all, it’s a film with remarkable quality, but the story is just too cruel… I really don’t dare dwell on it any further. Sigh… Though we are lucky enough to live in a way advanced time, still, take care, my fellow friends...

„Love cannot be cured“ What a beautifully staged, almost poetic drama. An emotional story from a dark time when you couldn't be who you truly were. The cast, led by Louis Hoffmann (my favorite German actor), is brilliant, complemented by perfectly executed cinematography and sound design.
