Ich war eine glückliche Frau

Since Mrs. Blok suffers from dementia, she rarely leaves the house and spends most of her day watching the family happiness of her neighbors: Eva, her husband and their two teenage children lead a harmonious family life after moving into the house next door and Ms. Blok takes a big emotional part of it. Her health condition improves as a result. But because of her good powers of observation, she also noticed one day as the first fine signs that the family happiness is wavering. Mr Blok, who states that his wife is now doing much worse, then decides to intervene - with fatal consequences for both families.

Directed by Martin Enlen, Ich war eine glückliche Frau leans on a strong ensemble — Rainer Bock, Petra Schmidt-Schaller, Marc Hosemann — 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 2017.
