If you need help in falling asleep tonight, just put this ponderous and meaningless drama on at bedtime and it will surely be the cure.
A home movie might have more of a plot than this atrocity from Gemany. No wonder they lost the war. Stephanie appears to be about ten when we first meet her and her nutty mother lounges around in a mess of a hoarder's paradise. In one scene which seems endless, her father peels potatoes while the young girl struggles with a math problem. She later opens a trunk which contain a meat cleaver and a pig killing gun of sorts. Mom's dad was a butcher and explains this to her offspring.
We are abruptly taken to the Addam's family and their strange world ten years later. They sing Silent Night around a sickly looking Christmas tree and the ending makes no sense whatsoever.
Avoid this garbage at all costs.

Plot summary
In a small town in 1970s West Germany, Stephanie is raised by two parents who have no business having children. The mother suffers from an unspecified medical condition—one both mental and physical. The father makes it clear that he has no patience for his daughter. Young Stephanie takes solace in exploring the mysteries hidden away in the increasingly untidy house, particularly the trunk full of her grandfather’s butcher’s equipment; older Stephanie takes far more sinister comfort in the tools found therein.

Ponderous
Boring and meaningless
The film is infinitely boring, meaningless, and despite having a similar illness in the family, I can't even sympathize with any of the characters. It's one of the worst movies of my life I've seen. The only reason I gave 2 because of the atmosphere and the scenery, these were ok.
