"A woman arrives terribly late for a date with her husband in a small café. He has given up, so – as bad luck would have it – the two pass each other in the revolving door. When they do actually meet up, she has a lovely surprise for her husband ... Structured like a theatrical sketch, this comical commercial for a Dortmund fashion boutique uses puns and situation comedy to document the first stirrings of the consumer society in Germany." - Berlinale 2018

The impressive cast is headed by the great Heinrich George as Boris Stroganoff, an opera composer and conductor who’s also a notorious lothario. Albani is ballet dancer Viola Suroff, who’s put her career aside to look after her partner Maxim Sadi, a baritone with unspecified health issues that have kept him off stage. Stroganoff sets his sights on Viola and offers her a job in the corps de ballet for his new opera The Boyar, which she accepts provided Maxim is also hired. However, dancer Margot (called Myrra in the French version) maintains a seething passion for Stroganoff, as does Countess Geschow (called Countess Ziska on this print), both of whom are resentful when watching his interactions with Viola. Jealousies run high on opening night between all the characters and Stroganoff is shot mid-performance, but who is the killer: Maxim, Margot, or Geschow?I
