What Dieter Hallervorden brings this film to theatrical elements would certainly trust him little, since one him "just" as Didi knows. The facial expressions, the anger, Unverständns, grief, despair (especially after the death of his wife) but also defiance and now more than ever brings across is super strong. Also the game with Heike Makatsch shows how serious the issue is her while being entwaffend honest in the interview (Extras) and runterholt not here. Dieter Hallervorden showed - albeit very late - that he's a very serious actor who takes care especially such a critical issue. I myself see my grandmother die in a nursing home prevailed in the unbelievable conditions - with my mother it was better where it was also a much smaller home.
We can not expect, and that's the core theme of the film that we are living longer and we are living in luxury home - that no one can afford. However, the government and all of us should take care of it, thatit comes to life worth aging. Those like me who already feel the first "niggles" with 55, can imagine what is to come - in the Hoffnng that one what is shown in the film (and, unfortunately, especially in large homes reality is spared.
Thanks Dieter Hallervorden and I hope you turn many films of this class
