Handlung

A former Greek diving champion and an eccentric German student take an adventurous road-trip of rediscovery from Bari to Bavaria.

Victor is a twenty-something ex-diving champion now working in a furniture factory and living with his sick grandmother in a seaside town in Greece. Distraught after her death, he decides to dust off her old car and travel to Germany to visit his estranged mother. On the ferry to Italy, he meets Matthias, a talkative, inquisitive young German who is on his way home. Matthias persuades Victor to take him along and as they drive north, Victor's uptight, repressive personality clashes with the more free-spirited Matthias. But they soon find common emotional ground as their summer road trip takes unexpected turns. A tender story of self-discovery, love and family, in its many forms.—Ferry Silitonga

But in this challenging quest for self-discovery, two worlds will collide with life-altering results. Does reconciliation await at the end of the road?—Nick Riganas
