What an obnoxious... and silly movie! A mature woman and her younger lover arrive at the house where she grew up, a cozy but run-down place in the countryside of the former Democratic Republic of Germany, where a mining project is slowly devastating the landscape and evicting the residents from the nearby town.
Although this setup is interesting, in the end it is nothing more than a trivial fact. What matters in this prudish drama is that a homosexual couple is also in the house to finish a legal process (not very explicit). The pair is made up of one of the woman's ex-lovers and his partner, a promiscuous psychologist, whose objective is to molest the woman and seduce her boy. The actor who plays the psychologist does so with a sign on his forehead that reads "I am a psychologist." And the script emphasizes it every time he opens his mouth, and delivers lines learnt in a course of Psychology 101.
In a mixture of dreams, double manifestations of the woman's psyche and games of seduction, the film ends up taking the path of "moralistic rectitude", when none of the four characters are worth a penny. I am sure you can find better things to do than watch this.
