    While I may be from Germany and don't have their same family situations, I could relate to Alyssa a lot. Dreaming of a better world, using imagination to get through reality, being spontanous, and trying to do the best in life, which however needs to also be lots of fun. She probably impersonated Gen Z quite well. The ending surprised me, as it is not the typical comedy roadtrip movie ending, reminding that one of the genres is also drama. It's not bad. Just … very realistic and bittersweet. Although hopeful, too. I wouldn't mind a sequel. Watched the original version with german subtitles in the theatre. Really loved the soundtrack too, introduced me to some dope arabian songs! -30.04.26

Despite a series of mishaps, Jon decides to keep trying with the dog, and he rents a dilapidated farm house to give the dog room to run. A local handyman refers Jon to a woman who might be able to help him train the dog. Reluctantly, Jon gives her a try. Is the dog the problem, or the owner?
