The Bosom-Friend

Ulrich Seidl
Ulrich Seidl

Renatus is forty and lives with his mother. He gave up his profession as a high school teacher for mathematics and physics years ago because teaching "got on his nerves" as he says.

Renatus is a very sensitive man with distinct sexual phantasies. Entangled in his obsessions for years he successivly dissociated from his normal life and abandonned to his phantasies.

For Renatus has spent ten years with Senta Berger - not really with her or on her side, but "theoretically and in mind" as he says. Senta Berger was the love of his youth, the object of his desires and his dreams. For Renatus, Senta Berger represented the ideal of a motherly type of woman which he desired like an addict. He has watched her films a hundred times and kissed her image a thousand times. All his erotic wishes have been projected on this full-bosomed woman but remained unfulfilled until today.
