Banned in 1966 and labeled by officials as "indifferent and insignificant," this sexually frank film centers on two newlyweds, Alfred, an auto mechanic, and Lisa, a maternity nurse, who are going crazy living together in their tiny flat and decide to divorce. Alfred takes a few days off to clear his head and drifts through Berlin meeting strangers. Though he ultimately returns to Lisa, their story together remains unfinished. Considered East Germany"s "closest counterpart to early Godard," this stylistically free film didn"t get its first showing until 1990, after reunification. Jürgen Böttcher was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1992 German Film Awards and The Berlinale Camera at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival.
