“[Director] Jakob Zapf delivers an all-too-important social drama about a gruff old man’s friendship with a refugee girl.” – EPD Film
“A beautiful, touching film…” – Kinofilmwelt

Features stellar performances by Jurgen Prochnow (DAS BOOT), Pegah Ferydoni (WOMEN WITHOUT MEN), and Milena Pribak in her acting debut, this poignant first feature from Jakob Zapf is a timely and heartfelt story of courage and compassion.
