    A Trio Combined with Fun, Love & Complicity! A Fine German Comedy Film!

    This is one of the films that I have most enjoyed seeing the adventures of 3 people so related to each other where complicity overcomes all the problems faced by the law and sexual complacency. This Director brought a fun, healthy story, without surrealism or so much philosophy, He only mixed the coexistence of three people who used to steal wallets as a means of survival and lived in a trailer without following any of the common rules. That is why the film brought more interest when the sexy young man appeared on the scene bringing some changes and attitudes to be involved in a triangle turned into sexual desire and falling in love with daughter and father at the same time! One of the best stories different from the German thrillers that I have seen in recent years!
