synopsis

A man meets a woman who straightens out his chaotic life. The woman looses her memory and her commemoration of him. He fights for her, but is at risk of reverting into the patterns of his past. And other mothers have got pretty daughters, too. So far so good?.

Fabo is a marauding emotion fen fire, such as flutter by the thousands through nocturnal cities: he has problems without women and alcohol, and with them his problems even seem to multiply. But the painful acquaintance with his dream woman Tami also reveals the solid sides of the hardcore romantic: wife, house, tree, children welcome. And because Fabo is able to enjoy this new life, fate hits him the harder in the hour of his largest bliss?

A film about bereavement and the fight for love, about male bonding, alcohol and crashes from different heights.

Windows, bath tubs and cars are used for other purposes than the intended and every ?dirty? word is just an expression of love and closeness. Dirty and hokey?

It is like Bukowski in an Edward Hopper painting, that has been fallen off the wall years ago?.

And the best: it is not a comedy!
