Summary The focus is on love: Jann loves his mother Lina without limits, Lina despairs of her love for her sister, Jann's father Frank loves his new family, and Selma is falling in love with Jann. The film by Johannes and Thomas Schmid sensitively deals with how far love can go and how much love can demand, where it can destroy and how it can save. Jann's mother Lina is special, creative, spontaneous: what 17-year-old has a mother who organizes a lavish breakfast on the roof at six in the morning to watch the sunrise, who lies barefoot under the dining table and laughingly demands a selfie with her son? But there is also Lina's dark side: when she hides away, panics and is overtaken by traumatic experiences. When her demands become excessive, she cannot be alone and Jann has to go from being a child to being a caregiver. Always on the verge of emotional exhaustion, Jann struggles alone through the everyday life of school, part-time job and household. When he meets Selma, something new and exciting enters Jann's well-organized everyday life. He discovers a different kind of love, one that holds him and not just needs him. The fragile arrangement at home begins to falter and provokes dramatic developments. Jann has to make decisions - for himself and his mother. View more details
