DER FROSCH UND DAS WASSER
A moving and very funny road movie that follows a young man from an assisted living facility, as he goes on a group outing but inadvertently ends up with a group of Japanese tourists.
Buschi’s (Aladdin Detlefsen) 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 (Kanji Tsuda) - a man on a journey of his own - creating a bond that goes beyond words and starts an unexpected adventure. Everybody around Buschi seems to have worries and misunderstandings. But Buschi just magically just hovers through life knowing that he will find his way, touching everybody he encounters. This is a warm-hearted story about the most unlikely characters, two drifting souls, who unexpectedly and almost magically, create a bond and become friends. (Subtitles)
