This German travel movie features two authentically played main characters whose paths only cross by an unusual coincidence. The contrariness and at the same time kindness of both characters makes the charm of the film and takes the viewer on a touching, light-footed and sometimes humoristic journey. What makes this film a special jewel is that it dispenses with superficial masquerade and contrived backdrops. The actors appear natural and show character, act in front of the camera without affected gestures despite their fancy personalities and thus become close and sympathetic. If you want to watch a life-affirming, heart warming feel-good movie, then this is the right film for you.
