    Directed by Isabelle Stever. With Annika Kuhl, Stefan Rudolf, Arno Frisch
    Germany 2010, 35mm, color, 91 min. German with English subtitles

    On New Year’s Eve, Simone engages in an uncharacteristically impulsive one-night-stand with a handsome stranger. She registers no surprise when she becomes pregnant, but the eagerness with which her lover accepts the news unsettles her. As the two become a couple and she is faced with losing the anonymity of her previous, solitary life, Simone becomes increasingly anxious. Stever rigorously tailors her film to Simone’s point of view, maintaining a placid surface to the film, while allowing quick glimpses of things stirring in the depths, even as it remains difficult to say what those things might be. Which is worse: if Simone has met the man of her dreams, or if she hasn’t? .
