Synopsis

THE AGREEMENT
For his semester abroad, shy student Louis moves to Hamburg, ready to start a new chapter in his life. But his shared room is no longer available. In his misery, he finds a room in a chic penthouse. The landlord is the successful lawyer Clara, a beautiful, unapproachable woman in her 50s who makes Louis an unexpected offer: he can live free of charge, but has to sleep with her once a week. When Louis’ search remains without alternative, he gets involved in the deal.
The first night is full of compulsion and doubt, but Louis fulfills his duty. At a party he plays Clara’s lover and meets the young bon vivant Anna. Clara’s jealousy, her hatred of Anna and the disgrace of rejection grow bigger and bigger until she sees only one way out.
