This picture is made for German television. Similar to the societal reality the contract between generations doesn't work good in the case of corrector Vreni. She isn't enthusiastic to worry about her mother after whose apoplexy. Off course the conflicts accumulate in this familiar auxiliary-community, because dominant mothers can't stop even sickness. The plot reminds me a little bit of "One True Thing" with Meryl Streep. Director and co-writer Florian Gärtner managed an authentic, coherent and melancholic drama which goes under viewers skin especially in the end. Last but not least it is the merit of two brilliant actors that this picture works: Suzanne von Borsody as Vreni and Rosemarie Fendel as the mother. Please notice, that in real life this awesome couple is also daughter and mother (it's their third picture together). I give seven out of ten stars.
