Portrait of a Married Couple
GER 2002, 92 min
A young couple is fighting on their own wedding party.
Synopsis
Why wait? Newlyweds Dorit, 25, and Alex, 30, decide at their wedding party to revisit their hitherto extremely intense love relation in a playful marital spat that intensifies. The buzzed and charged mood consistently pushes the combative potential of the two - until the young bride loses touch with reality.
