just wanted to say, that the score is absolutely terrible. even in mid-90s this was dated. and, yes, some of the actors do a good job, mostly it is just average. thank god vera farmiga was in this one. i won't really recommend it. really not. what else. this e.t.guy is quite okay in it. the plot: starts okay, but the characters are just way to plain, and it gets worse every minute. one good thing about it, the robbery scene is well cut, time leap forward and backward, well done, but again sucking score and to thin characters. actually, the longer i think about it, the thinner the people get. add some violence and ready you are. won't complain about the f-words, didn't disturb me.

well made German drama. deals with drug abuse of the leading female, renneberg. who is quite convincing. photographer wink wants to help her, well, one knows, where that can lead. have seen this years ago, but still remember, that i thought, that wink and renneberg do very well together. very promising at that time. anyhow, renneberg is mostly known now for her role in the donna-leon-series, and where the hell is steffen wink? give this 7, because it is very intense and calm. it takes its time, you really get to know the characters and that's the biggest strength of the movie, you feel for them. worth seeing. should be able to be catch it on television.

it wasn´t easy to watch this one in german cinemas, only showing on early afternoon for about two weeks. that is definitely too short, because this flick would have earned a larger audience. it´s about good and bad times of schoolboy hodder, and how he is treating with those times. actually it´s about not giving up what you believe in, but stick to it and do what you feel is right. i liked all of the cast, and each of the characters is believable and very well-written. a film to watch with your kids or your partner or whoever. absolutely recommended. 8 of 10.
