The good news: she’s finally single. The bad news: everything else.“ ”
CINEUROPA
"Does not fall into the trap of using worn-out clichés ... but instead allows more complex layering to shine through."
"... more profound moments merge quite well with the more comedic nuances ..."
CINEMA AUSTRIACO
"A mature and intelligent work ..."
"Not only a strong and flawless screenplay, but also an excellent cast."
"Hilarious moments that alternate well with highly dramatic scenes."
THE UPCOMING
"... an unconventional discovery of friendship and forgiveness."
"... for fans of the capriciousness of European comedy, it is a film worth keeping an eye out for."
Synopsis
When small-town policewoman Andrea accidentally kills her soon-to-be-ex-husband in a late-night collision, she flees the scene in panic. Called to investigate the incident, she discovers that Franz, a local religion teacher and recovered alcoholic, has confessed to the crime. As Franz spirals back into addiction, Andrea covers her tracks — until her conscience forces her to face the truth.
