* * * * ”A wonderful film, truthful and sweet” – The Hollywood News

When two women, Sascha and Maria, meet at the brothel in Berlin where they both work, sweet music immediately begins to play. Several weeks of intense passion and happiness follow. But soon, the intoxicating joy collides with the expectations and demands of reality, as well as Sascha and Maria's own emotional baggage. Will they be able to find their way back to each other again?

Far from the usual glamorization or stigmatization, director and screenwriter Henrika Kull's second film gives us an unsentimental look at the often controversial subject of sex work. Here, it is portrayed without any major clichés, and the focus is instead on the relationship between the two main characters. Katharina Behrens and Adam Hoyas' performances have been praised for their raw authenticity by a unanimous international critics' jury. The music is by Dascha Dauenhauer, who previously composed the acclaimed new recording of Berlin Alexanderplatz. "Thought-provoking throughout" – Cineuropa
