Storyline

Pascale, married to an architect, misses her flight to London and is forced to stay in Berlin, at the Kleinhoff Hotel where she stayed as a student. Karl, a would-be revolutionary lives in the adjoining room and Pascale spies him and his ex-girl-friend through a hole. Then she follows him to a questionable place where she is arrested by the police during a revolutionists raid. When she returns to the Kleinhoff Hotel, Pascale finds Karl crying, and enters his room to console him and they have a love affair. When Karl kills himself while she sleeps, Pascale, on awakening, coldly dresses and leaves the hotel.

User Reviews

God-awful German/Italian movie

This film is about a woman who misses her plane, and is forced to stay at a decayed hotel for a night. During her stay, she observes the mentally ill man staying in the room next to her's. Virtually devoid of intelligent filmmaking or writing, or any type of credible acting, this poorly dubbed movie starts off pointless and ends pointless. Plus, it's needlessly graphic. Whether or not you'll like this movie depends of your abilities to watch Bruce Robinson's scrotum for fifteen minutes nonstop.
