An unusual relationship comedy that puts the city of Leipzig in a colorful and bright light at the beginning of the 1970s. Rarely has a GDR-city been so beautifully presented. And there was rarely so little GDR in a film from the GDR film studios DEFA. The whole film is decidedly bourgeois - quotes from Friedrich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe are sprinkled in so regularly that you really don't think you're witnessing a socialist society. The story of the attractive young Angelika, who is desired by many men and is hardly aware of it, is of course not entirely new. But it is told in a lively and charming way. So that the audience really notices everything, the main actors explain the events as off-camera voices, which also works well. All in all, the film is a small but positive surprise.
