Happy As One (Komm Näher), Germany, 2006 ☆☆☆☆

Director Vanessa Jopp brings us a story about different people living in Berlin whose lives suddenly change because of love. Actress Meret Becker plays the role of an urban hippy who has trouble establishing serious relatioinships. She quits her jobs in a matter of days, and her spontaneous and unpredictable character does not help her get along with people. This changes when she falls in love with a police offer, the same who showed up at her place to tell her to lower the volume of her stereo system. In another story, a 40 year-old taxi driver meets a woman thru an ad. Soon enough, the man meets the woman´s daughter, who also starts to fall in love with him. All the stories are both funny and sad. The movie is about solitude in modern-day Germany, and how people try to cope up with it.
