- Synopsis:
- Is there anything more complex than a gay man's relationship with his mother? When writer Lorenz (Fabian Krüger) returns from Berlin to his native small town home he expects an uneventful break - maybe even a chance to get over his writers block. But when he arrives he finds his fiercely independent, gregarious mother needs more than a little attention. And when a one night stand with a hot young local man begins to get seriously complicated, it becomes clear that this isn't going to be anything like a normal trip home!

Great Dynamics - A Man, His Lover and His Mother review by TB
I really enjoyed this film because of how all of the characters had their own stories and issues going on, and how each of those characters stories/issues dynamically wove into the others situations to give a real-life and beleivable complexity to the film.
The acting was strong throughout and the taught relationship between the mother and her children was great to watch with the mothers character regularly switching between joy and depression, due to her ills and the weight of her past.
I won't ruin the film by going too in depth but there is also a tender love story entwined in this and the whole film was a joy to watch from start to finish.
