    Good idea, poor movie

    Let's be honest, this therapist needs helps himself, I don't understand how this person manages to get to help a person when he couldn't manage his own life. Really, I can't imagine how he might help any of his patients who are basically tying to sort *him* out, they should charge him for the time they are there and not vice-versa! And the whole choir movie, well... this has been done so many times, and yes, never by Germans. The result? A complet and utter waste of time, in the end, you don't get anything out of this film, and is such a pity. So many talented actors with such a poor outcome as a result, and one utterly boring at that. By the end, you are just happy this film is over.
