Eine halbe Ewigkeit

More than fifty years have passed since Harry left his great love Elly head over heels to go to America. Now he has returned to see her again - and must discover that she lives as a nun in a Protestant monastery. At first she refuses to contact him, the pain is too deep that he has not been alive throughout the years. Only when she learns the true reason for his supposed silence does she let Harry back into her life. With the memory of the past times, the two also return to the old feelings. Elly gets into a deep moral conflict

Directed by Matthias Tiefenbacher, Eine halbe Ewigkeit leans on a strong ensemble — Cornelia Froboess, Matthias Habich, Lambert Hamel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2012.
