Sinopsis(1)
Grischa and Heinrich are actors in West Berlin, who become a couple after spending a night together backstage. Soon, however, Heinrich’s desire to have children drives a wedge between them. Grischa is involved at the margins of the women’s movement and initiates a project surveying working women about their everyday life, abortion, and domestic violence. Heinrich, on the other hand, still mourns the unrealised utopia of the student movement and sinks into self-pity and lethargy. Grischa doesn’t believe he could handle the responsibility of a child. But then she becomes pregnant. (Berlinale)

It is true that the film corresponds to the contemporary discourse and practices of leftist art cinema, but again, it certainly can't be said that they correspond to the contemporary discourse (as a whole) - it is simply non-mainstream art, close to Kluge, Sander, etc., but certainly not to the prevailing conditions in the film industry or society. /// What is interesting is the introductory narrative approach to social conditions in the form of fictional highly stylized theater, which is subsequently replaced during the film by the anti-fictional quasi-documentary style of the fictional protagonist, replacing theater with sociology. It is also interesting to observe the depiction of the slow fading of the political determination of the 1968 generation. The feminist motif, where the film is narrated from the perspective of the female protagonist and where the woman is internally stronger in the relationship, etc., is presented in a non-aggressive and rather subtle way, but it doesn't change the fact that it is somewhat predictable.
