This film is based on
a true story from a German anthology called Life Sentence by Klaus Antes and
Christine Erhardt. Peter Trepper
works hard and he just wants to be loved.
He builds a house for his parents so they will love him. He marries a neighbor, Erika and they
have a baby son. He wants her to
have everything everyone else has and he wants her to love him. He works hard in construction as a
bricklayer but he keeps buying items on installment payment plans. He has to ask his father for money and
he hates doing that. He takes a
holiday because his boss says he looks terrible from working too hard. He starts not taking the train, not
going to work and wandering aimlessly.
He doesn’t know what he’s going to do about the bills? Erika asks about
the payments and money but he lies to her. He’s getting in deeper and deeper because he wants them to
love him.
This film is grim
except for the flowers Peter is always buying and the young baby. There is grimness in the scenery,
weather, cities, workplaces, train station and the money situation. The outcome seems to become inevitable
without a doubt about where it is going.
Pressure on Peter is mounting constantly. 3* (This movie is OK)
