Martha is a filmmaker. Alfred has been studying architecture forever. When they stumble across each other on the frozen Alster lake in the middle of Hamburg, it is evidence of the compelling force of opposites attracting. And so the love story begins between her, “rich but longing to be poor so that she can finally belong to those who are poor and hence be against the rich”, and him, a child of the ’68 generation. While she offers housing to the family of their Portuguese nanny in order to feel a sense of social reality, he keeps his head above water working as a tour guide at a film studio. (Berlinale)
