Tarot

Drama/Book adaptation, Germany 1986

A director (Hanns Zischler), his fiancee (Vera Tschechowa), a scriptwriter (Rudiger Vogler) and a student interact and discuss their emotions, at length. Eduard and Charlotte have been married for a long time. Their relationship isn't in the best shape, and they have decided to spend more time together in the future and want to spend the summer undisturbed in an idyllic country house. But this plan doesn't last long. By chance, Eduard meets his old friend Otto, whom he promptly invites over. When Charlotte's niece Ottilie unexpectedly joins them, their plan to be together is finally over. Instead, there is tension and new love constellations. With Tarot, Rudolf Thome freely transferred Goethe's "elective affinities" into the present.
