Solid television entertainment with charming young stars and a great Thekla Carola Wied
This is how it can work: Friday evening after the Tagesschau, you don't have the remote control at hand in time, and you're trapped in the dungeon of public service mediocrity. You are essentially drawn into this maelstrom of the mainstream.
But then... oh wonder, you discover a very entertaining film with two attractive actors (Henriette Richter Röhl and Jochen Matschke) who are allowed to reenact the eternal conflict between city and country life in a charming, cheeky, self-ironic and also a little bit sexy way. Embittered career woman meets hunky craftsman - seen many times and yet always beautiful. There are also wonderful pictures from Munich and Baierbrunn. The television evening is saved - thanks to Degeto Film and the busy producers Quirin Berg and Max Wiedemann, who sometimes dare to go to the cinema.
But the enjoyable TV treat is really rounded off by the splendid Thekla Carola Wied in the role of the down-to-earth mother of the career woman. The actress, born in 1944 in Breslau, Silesia, became almost famous in German-speaking countries in the 1980s through her leading role in the ZDF series "ICH HEIRATE EINE FAMILIE / I Marry a Family". What a great actress she was outside of the monotony of TV could already be seen back then when she appeared in touring theaters. She once thrilled the audience at the Eichsfeld Halle in beautiful Duderstadt when she appeared there in a dramatic love triangle alongside Volker Brandt and Christian Kohlund, also proven television stars.
As we all know, memories never die. And can even be triggered by a harmless, charming provincial farce.
