Monika lives with Rob, a corpse she loves. Her dilemma intensifies when she meets Mark and considers a normal life with him. She must choose between her affection for Rob and a new relationship.
Just like Rob in Nekromantik (1987), the young and beautiful Berliner, Monika, is leading a double life. By day, she is a solicitous hospital nurse; however, at nights, she roams the city's graveyards in search of fresh cadavers. Then, unexpectedly, Monika stumbles upon an unfortunate stranger's sad suicide in the obituaries, and, as death is not always the end, she exhumes the cold and pale corpse of the recently deceased man, and does the unthinkable: she brings it home under the nose of her new sweetheart, Mark. Under those circumstances--as Monika's unappeased necrophilic obsession threatens to surface--sooner or later, she will have to make a difficult decision: choose between the affection for the living or the romantic love for what was once alive.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
