Ritterblut - Verliebt in einen Knacki (2016)
Directed by Sigrid Faltin
Documentary
Last year, Marion (48) wrote a letter to God for New Year. She no longer wanted to be alone. May he send her a man who will protect and love her. A man with the blood of a knight. And then she found Rudi (48). The problem: he was in prison. After six visits and 59 letters from him, they both say: it's love. He is due to be released in a year and a half. Then he wants to move in with her in northern Germany. We follow the couple as they move from prison to freedom: when they visit him behind bars, when he goes out for the first time in open prison, when the problems begin. Does he have an alcohol and gambling problem or not? Will he be released early or will he give up everything? What is it like when love that began behind bars meets reality? What problems and limits will the two of them encounter? A long-term observation over a year and a half. Can love move mountains?
