Buschi’s daily routine in an assisted living facility leaves no room for surprises. Seeking change, he seizes the chance to leave a group outing behind and joins a tour of Japanese tourists traveling through Germany. Having lived his entire life without speaking, on this unusual trip, he forms a wordless friendship with Hideo — a man on a journey of his own — creating a bond that goes beyond words and starts an unexpected adventure.
The director of this film, inspired by Buddhist philosophy, Thomas Stuber (“In the Aisles”, 2018), is no stranger to the PÖFF audiences. His latest film offers the kind of warm humour that we can never have too much of in life.
