Fräulein Phyllis

'Clemence M. Schönborn"s first feature film is a typical Austrian black comedy, dealing with an easy-going forty-something, who likes playing games with others, which has serious consequences...

When she gets to know Henry, supporting actor of a soap opera, she pretends to love him, but sleeps with the show's lead actor Walter, whom she finally runs over with her car, which makes Henry the show's new star - and the new lover of the lead actress Doris. However, Phyllis isn't done with him...

All that in set designer Bert Neumann's industrial-designed bungalow (with swimming pool) built onto forbidding landscape.
