About Was wenn der Tod uns scheidet
Sophie is admitted to hospital with a fainting spell. She has recently started feeling sick all the time and has a headache. She fears she might be pregnant again. And now she is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her husband Joachim is never around and their three sons consume all her energy. She throws herself into an affair with the doctor Paul Wolff in order to feel alive again.
Directed by Ulrike Grote, Was wenn der Tod uns scheidet leans on a strong ensemble — Monica Bleibtreu, Ulrich Noethen, Hark Bohm — 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 screen titles of 2008.
