Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

An ageing swimming champion falls for a failed writer after answering an unusual personal ad in director Rudolf Thome's existential love story. Impulsively responding to an ad placed by an awkward young writer Johannes, middle-aged Johanna Perl falls hopelessly in love. On the surface Johannes is a balding failure, but Johanna sees something in her new lover that inspires her like never before. Soon enough, the unlikely new couple decides to move in together, and even Johanna's daughter Sophia finds romance with a handsome new beau. While all is well at first, the blissful new living arrangement is soon shattered when Johannes pens a best seller and begins sleeping with his publicist, leaving his older lover to wonder if she has finally lost her mind.
