Love and loss are in close proximity in Lena Stahl's feature debut about a teenager and his mother setting off on a journey together after they almost lost one another.

This tragicomic and emotionally gripping story features Jonas Dassler, star of Fatih Akin's "Der Goldene Handschuh" ("The Golden Glove", 2019) and Lars Kraume's "Das schweigende Klassenzimmer" ("The Silent Revolution", 2018), as the title character opposite Anke Engelke ("Deutschland 86"), a mother who decides to take her son's fate into her own hands.
