*** HEAVY SPOILERS*****
Based on my observation, very few people seen this German movie. I'm going to give my honest opinion and curiosity after I finished watching Das sommerhaus. The premise of the story is centered on Markus-- a family man with deviant taste on his sexuality. A bisexual and pedophile. Basically his preference doesn't do any good for his wife, Christine and 12 year old daughter Elisabeth. Enter this 12 year old boy Johannes the son of Markus business partner. So Markus and Johannes get along pretty well when something nasty happened between them. At the end of the film, the kid blackmail Markus and we can see Johannes was killed by Elisabeth.(Is that really happened?) In the whole 100 minutes many strange events takes place that I don't want to elaborate because it's confusing and doesn't make sense, we only focus on Marcus and his attraction to the boy that backfired on him. What annoyed me is that, the writer seems enjoying making a scenario then left the audience hanging without establishing a clear ultimatum. They always make a grey area when you asked yourself "What happened....?". Anyway if you like watching almost trashy and surprising movie this is for you.
PS: I'm happy with the choice of the actors. They suit well for their respected characters. That the reason why I gave it slightly higher rating.
