The impulsive Caro moves to Kiel in a hurry to make a fresh start. The 29-year-old was terminated after she resisted her former boss's advances. Since then, she has been trying to control her impulsive temper and her anger, which comes up quickly. She wants to forget what happened and reorganize her life. Even when she moves in, neighbor and property manager Manfred is very accommodating and lends her tools. But his pushy friendliness seems all too familiar to Caro. The early retiree has a weakness for pretty young women and is known as a patterer. Caro has taken a direct liking to him and he is convinced that her reserve conceals great affection for him. When Caro comes home one day, an uninvited gift from her new neighbor is lurking behind her apartment door. Following her angry impulse, Caro confronts Manfred the same evening.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
