Vera and Wolf Küper live in Berlin with their 5-year-old daughter Nina and their one-year-old son Simon. Vera takes care of the household and has a part-time job, while Wolf works as an advisor to the UN, raising awareness about the global climate crisis. The stressful, not exactly family-friendly schedule puts increasing strain on the Küpers. When Nina is diagnosed with a fine motor and coordination disorder, however, the family is suddenly shaken from its routine. Bravely deciding to change their lives completely, they embark on an exploration of the planet to show their children and themselves why life is worth living. It’s a touching, amusing, surprising, profound, and unforgettable journey.
“Sensitively acted … This bestseller adaptation works, if only because of [how] enjoyable it is to watch Herfurth and Schilling interact.”
