Licht über dem Wasser

2009 · 87 min

A gentle, predictable comfort watch: soft coastal light, quiet grief and a slow thaw into romance.

Overview: After the death of his wife, successful author Seefeld has retreated to a lighthouse on the Irish coast. His nervous publisher is waiting in vain for a new bestseller and sends a spy: psychologist Carolin is to find out what Seefeld is up to. She disguises herself as an ornithologist - and the outcome is immediately clear to all connoisseurs of schmaltz.
