The Intangible Joy of Love

The Intangible Joy of Love

When the notorious liar Greta unexpectedly kisses the lonesome butcher Alex on the neck at a bus stop, both of them are unaware that this chance encounter is exactly what they have been missing in their lives.

Greta is a notoriously compulsive liar as a school secretary and, at the same time, loud, spontaneous, and unpredictable. Alexander is a struggling butcher and, moreover, a lover of music and a hidden intellectual, always mindful of his strict order.  At a bus stop, she unexpectedly kisses him on the neck, completely out of the blue. A mix up? Or is there a bigger plan behind it? In any case, it marks the beginning of an electrifying love story that neither of them had expected just five minutes earlier. No matter how much Alexander might resist, he cannot escape the force of nature that is Greta.

THE INTANGIBLE JOY OF LOVE sees two complete opposites colliding and then discovering that life has all kinds of things to offer even when it’s quite late in the day - you just have to have the courage to go for it. It's funny and thoughtful, exciting and unexpected, profound and exhilarating. And always totally fascinating.

Lars Kraume ("The People vs. Fritz Bauer”, "The Silent Revolution“) directs the two multiple award-winning audience favourites Caroline Peters ("How About Adolf?“, "Family Affairs“, "What Have We Done To Deserve This?“) and Burghart Klaußner ("The Edukators“, "The White Ribbon“, "Oskars Kleid“) in a charming love story based on Simon Stephens’ successful stage play "Heisenberg".

THE INTANGIBLE JOY OF LOVE is a production of X Filme Creative Pool, Stefan Arndt und Genia Krassnig, in cooperation with Burghart Klaußner as creative producer and Jörg Himstedt in his function as commissioning editor at Hessischer Rundfunk. The film was produced with support from Medienboard Berlin- Brandenburg and the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF)
