About the film

What it’s about

After serving seven months for kleptomania, Amelie Fehling is determined to rebuild her life. Her husband Jörg asks for a break, and her daughter Romy's future father-in-law, fearing damage to his mayoral re-election, wants Amelie kept away from the wedding. Feeling lost, she accepts help from Baris Kaya, an empathetic taxi driver.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who likes character-driven stories where a person rebuilds her life against quiet resistance, and who enjoys drama with gentle comic touches and an emphasis on everyday solidarity.
