Intrigue

Eva and Tom, 21 years her junior, meet on a business trip, spend the night, then part. Soon he shows up and wants to live with her. But she fears a relationship with a professional gambler might jeopardize her impending job promotion.

On a business trip to Slovenia, Eva meets the poker player Tom. She's in her mid-40s, he's only 23 - that's why the attractive career woman is surprised by his erotic advances. Flattered and attracted by his sex appeal, she embarks on a night out with him. Back in Munich, Eva would like to silently tick off the passionate one-night stand, but to her surprise, Tom suddenly appears in front of her. The affair flares up again and throws her orderly life upside down: she ends a promising liaison with her boss Hajo and gets involved with the young daredevil. More than losing her heart to a professional player, Eva fears making a fool of herself because of the age difference. Even her much younger colleague Dumi already feels too old for the "cutie" Tom. Eva encounters a lack of understanding from her adult daughter Leonie. Even she has to admit that she sometimes finds the thought of a relationship with a much younger man more than uncomfortable. Only Tom doesn't give a damn about conventions or fears: he wants to be with Eva - forever. Eva could not have dreamed of what was to come: Contrary to all malicious predictions, she found her true love in him. Eva enjoys how Tom surrounds her with tenderness and passion. But as soon as they leave the happy togetherness, Eva has to endure that Tom is mistaken for her son-in-law or that the obvious age difference is whispered about. Everyone thinks: How long will she be able to hold him?—ADR Das Erste
