Ohne Dich! (2014): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2014, Ohne Dich! is a drama, romance and tv movie film directed by Alexandre Powelz.

What it’s about. Three loosely connected stories: The relationship between midwife Rosa and therapist Marcel is shaken to the core by a cancer diagnosis. Wandering aimlessly through life, waitress Motte is horrified to discover she’s pregnant – by her best friend Neo, who’s not even sure about his sexual orientation. Finally, cleaning lady Layla refuses to accept that her ex, Navid, has left her for a younger woman. Each situation escalates on one fateful night: A gun is fired, a woman dies, and a child is born. ‘Without you’ – an expression that can be formulated both negatively and positively: ‘I can’t live without you’ also means ‘life is much better with you’. Director Alexandre Powelz maximises this interpretation to its fullest potential. OHNE DICH is a film both about love and its bitter ingredients, and the equally sobering, yet comforting certainty that life goes on.

Who’s in it. Ohne Dich! stars Katja Riemann as Rosa, Charly Hübner as Marcel, Meral Perin as Layla and Helen Woigk as Motte, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.8/10, Ohne Dich! has proved divisive with audiences.
