Sensitively acted … This bestseller adaptation works, if only because of [how] enjoyable it is to watch Herfurth and Schilling interact.”

Andreas Köhnemann, Kino-Zeit

Vera and Wolf Küper live in Berlin with their five-year-old daughter Nina and one-year-old son Simon. Vera (Karoline Herfurth, Passion) takes care of the household and has a part-time job, while Wolf (Tom Schilling, Never Look Away) works as an advisor to the UN, trying to raise awareness about the global climate crisis. This stressful, not exactly family-friendly schedule puts increasing strain on the Küpers. When Nina is diagnosed with a fine motor and coordination disorder, the family is suddenly shaken from its routine. Bravely deciding to change their lives, Vera and Wolf embark on an exploration of the planet to show their children—and themselves—why life is worth living. This directorial debut from longtime producer Christopher Doll is a touching, amusing, profound, and unforgettable journey.
