Sad, sometimes funny story of a prideful man coping in a difficult situation. Also it is a poignant, bitter-sweet love story. I feel Mueller-Stahl is an outstanding character actor--if you've seen him in "Music Box" with Jessica Lange, you'll love this movie.
Viewer Reviews I was lucky to see this film at a screening where Armin Mueller-Stahl talked to the audience (and even played his violin for us!). He was as charming as this film. The film is warm, thoughtful, charming and original. I was disappointed it did not do better. It deserved to. A true gem.
