Eingeschneit (Snowbound)

German by Max Faber Extreme situations require extreme measures. This is the motto of the lively senior citizen Judith when she sets off on the rather long journey to her nearest neighbor during a raging snowstorm so that she doesn't have to live through the storm alone. Understandably, Patrick, who lives in complete seclusion, is not exactly pleased about Judith's unannounced visit, which threatens to extend indefinitely due to the unpredictable weather conditions. While the disturber of the peace makes every effort to engage in conversation with her aloof counterpart, her presence becomes more and more of an ordeal for the secretive loner. Judith can't appreciate his first-class cooking skills and instead prefers to order second-rate pizza at Patrick's expense. Judith would prefer to drink his expensive wine straight from the bottle, she can't taste the nuances anyway, and to make matters worse, this philistine demands ice cubes and lemon with her Cabernet Sauvignon! With dripping wet boots and intrusive questions, Judith literally brings the chaotic outside world into Patrick's previously orderly home - but also leaves behind deep traces of compassion and comfort.
