GermanTen-year old Matti is convinced that the universe is riddled with faults; otherwise people would be much happier! His father, Sulo, would not be a bus driver, but rather a video game developer. His mother Annette would no longer need to be angry with her choleric boss at the doctor's office. And together they would have been living in Finland, his father's homeland, for a long time. Matti decides to take things into his own hands. One may not get very far with lies, but the universe may just provide a small miracle every now and then... After AMELIE RENNT (ZFF 2017) comes another German children's film which skilfully oscillates between sincerity and humour.
