Detached
Braulio 2022-06-09 20:55:19
In the elegant world of artists and musicians, after getting married with Gustav, Geteld was with his lover, composer Erland Jason. He also couldn't realize her ideal emotional state, she left him and exerted a kind of inner exile pressure on her. The film uses flashbacks and off-picture monologues to continuously enter the memory. We learned from it her ambiguous relationship with Gabriel who still hopes to be with her, as well as her adolescence, the disillusionment of her ideals, and the unrealization of decisive love.

Gertrud Kanning: Don't think I've forgotten everything I owe you. You taught me love's wonderful miracle. You made me a woman with every drop of life's blood. I belonged to you with all my senses. We grew together and became one. There was no shame between us. Love cleansed me of everything, of what was low and miserable. It opened me up to the good and beautiful. I found in you a man with whom I could share life. I asked myself whether I truly deserved so much happiness.

Gertrud Kanning: Your work divided us, and honor and fame and money. You desired these. Love had become a burden for you. You wanted pleasure of the flesh, not love.
Gabriel Lidman: It's the terrible truth.
