Betty (the once again magnificent Maresi Riegner) is in the late stages of pregnancy, and at a wedding with the father of her child. But he isn’t marrying Betty. In this shrill, hyped-up film by Rosa Friedrich, it seems that sanity doesn’t stand a chance. One hysterically scatters glitter on the bitterness, and sings and dances, deceiving—oneself.
