PARADISE

The main characters of this documentary are Hans and Kerstin. Both are 83 and have been married for 60 years. ‘Paradise’ is a name of the wallpaper that Hans wants to put on one of the walls in their house. Kerstin opposes it. The decision concerning the change of interior design turns out to be difficult but the couple is able to reach an agreement. It is so because ‘Paradise’ symbolizes their life together, based on love, understanding, patience and a large dose of good humour.
