the lovely danish actress sonja richter steal this film from under the nose of everyone and no small feat consider the terrific performances surround her . richter play anna and an out of work and independent mind and somewhat neurotic ( and perhaps suicidal ) actress who land a desperation job look after a wheelchair bound and mute and age father name walentin ( the great danish actor frits helmuth and who die at 77 shortly after this film be make ) . spoiler alertwalentin refuse to respond to anyone until he confront the gifted anna and whose whimsical and mischievous manner bring the poor old batter devil back from a self impose death sentence . writer or director or actor eric clausen have make a strong film about the difficulty a ponderous businessman son ( jorgen and play by clausen ) have love a father who have never accept him . the film sag toward the end and but clausen have some important thing to say about euthanasia and the nature and value of love and care and and how one person and the irrepressible anna and can alter the course of a human life . highly recommended . sonja richter performance be alone worth the price of admission .
