Who is the real criminal?, 1 May 2006
8/10
Author: Turan from Munich, Germany

Lina Braake, an 81-year-old lady, has to leave her flat when the flat is inherited by a bank. She has to go to a home for old people. There she meets a former business man, an old fox who officially has been declared incapacitated. Nevertheless, he is involved into several financial transactions, some of them not exactly legal, because he cannot be indicted. He teaches Mrs Braake several tricks of the trade, and develops a scheme to frame the bank who has driven her out of her flat.

The Italian hairdresser of Mrs Braake also plays an important part, because he wants to go back to Italy, but cannot afford to buy a house there.

The solution is easy, illegal and good for all participants except the bank. Lina Braake knows exactly about section 20 of the German Code of Penal Law, because she was a keen student of the old business man.

"Lina Braake" is a good movie, therefore rarely transmitted on TV, and probably only in Germany. I had a good laugh and still wonder if a real bank would fall for the trick.
