CGiii Comment

For a TV movie, it's just about acceptable.

Two ambitious women compete for the same job and end up in the sack...together.

The men are either conniving bastards or weak willies...

The idealism is idealistic.

And the children...mere encumbrances.

Interesting.

The(ir) Blurb...

Katharina, a successful management consultant, has to face Maren as a new assistant. The young woman is very ambitious but has been employed by junior Boss Grosser to spoil Katharina's career. Despite all circumstances they work perfectly well as a team - and fall in love. Katharina, wife and mother of two teenage twins, is shaken up by the new situation. Is she willing to live her life with Maren, an open lesbian?
