Drama about a woman prostituting herself in order to save her and her family's dream
RobertGroenewold2 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Based on a true story, this German movie is about the farming family Scholz, consisting of the married couple Ludwig Scholz and Inga Scholz as well as their two children Mats and Marie. The Scholz' have fulfilled their dream of running their own organic farm in a small village in Germany by borrowing from a bank. At some point, they can't afford the installments anymore to pay back their loan, so they face insolvency and the loss of their farm. In order to avert that fate, Inga starts a job as a waitress in a seedy bar, but still the money isn't enough. So in that bar another waitress, with whom Inga had become friends meanwhile, gives Inga the idea to work as a prostitute for an internet based escort agency. Inga discusses this idea with her husband Ludwig, he seems to agree with it, even though reluctantly, since the amount of money Inga can earn in that profession is far too tempting and it seems to be the only way out of their crushing debts and to save their dream. So they decide she should do it but she should hide what she is really doing from their children as well as from everybody else in their village. At first, this seems to be good idea, since now the Scholz do not only have enough money to pay back their debts, but even can afford to acquire new equipment for their farm. But after a while, all of a sudden things dramatically come to a head when a possessive john wants Inga all to himself...

Actress Silke Bodenbender as the leading character Inga gives a convincing performance in a movie in which the question is raised if dreams should be fulfilled at any cost.
