Not much to say. It is a charming movie, with good to excellent performances; Hannelore Elsner as Lilo who is terminally ill who decides on the spur of the moment to take a lift from Persian truck driver Sami (Navid Navid) and gathers some old Persian wisdom. Daughter Caro and grandson Vicent catch up with her by way of GPS and join her and Sami. Even rather estranged husband of Caro joins them somewhere along the way to Hamburg (not clear how) and in the end Lilo dies rather happily and certain issues between all of them seem to get solved. However, whatever happened to cat Camus?

The description on the IMDb page for this movie starts with "A borderline personality disordered (hello?) defense worker". Wrong, wrong, wrong. A quite normal average man is simply totally fed up with the hassles we undergo and see every day. F.i. the insane traffic in which we have to move every day. Or being cheated by your employer or shopkeepers. Or the very bad service at a diner. And also being intimidated by some no good hoodlums, the man simply doesn't take it anymore. I think that many, many "normal" people would like once to react to all these abuses, grievances, infringements and what have you, And once, only once would love to take a baseball bat and do exactly what Michael Douglas does in this delightful and sometimes very funny "black" movie. For now we live with these frustrations and enjoy this movie.

Rosa Winter and Mark are looking for a new apartment in Berlin as they are being evicted from their current one. The judge Johannes Brun who confirmed the eviction order asks Rosa as a wedding planner to help him propose to his beloved. She accepts on the condition that she can arrange the wedding after his beloved Anja says yes. However, it seems that Anja has a dark past. Also the landlord, Mr. Schmidbauer who had refused their application for an ideal apartment, comes to Rosa some time later and asks her to find him a partner and if she succeeds the apartment will be hers. Now her fiancé Mark steps in and tries to couple Schmidbauer with Rosa's mother Ruth, which leads to complications indeed.
