The Sandra Situation

Paul, shy, and not exactly what one would call a ladies man, checks his answering machine and gets a surprise message from a woman named Sandra. Great, except that he knows three Sandras: one he'd love to hear from, one he'd hate to hear from and a third he'd never expect to call him. Paul desperately wants to find out who is the woman who called and enlists the help of his close friend, who is a ladies man. Marc, though very busy himself and eager to pursue his business, agrees to help. And so begins an urgent investigation. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Directed by Käthe Niemeyer, The Sandra Situation leans on a strong ensemble — Jörg Vincent Malotki, Jacek Klimontko, Julia Stinshoff — 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 romance titles of 2007.
