The Franconian Minister of State in the government, Richard Wilhelm, has perfectly arranged a tête-à-tête with an opposition secretary: The husband thinks his wife is with her aunt in Franconian Switzerland, Mrs. Minister of State thinks her husband is at a debate in the state parliament, and the MPs will habitually "sleep through" the minister's absence. If only it weren't for the body that suddenly appears in the hotel room: a man in a coat, scarf and suit, lifeless, obviously beaten to death by the fallen window. One thing is clear: the corpse with resurrection tendencies has to go, Richard can't afford a scandal.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
