action

The divorced logistics specialist Matthias Bleuel is sent from a Leverkusen fashion mail order business by his boss Fengler on a business trip to the company's sales point in Kemerovo , Siberia . In order to be able to roughly find his way around, he is provided with the interpreter Artjom, who is supposed to cushion the greatest cultural shocks of the pedantic German.

During a walk through the city, he overhears the throat singing of Shor singer Sajana. He is introduced to her and is so fascinated by her that he does not fly home. When he wants to visit her, he learns that she has traveled to a concert in Bergschorien and follows her. When he finally meets her, they drive together to the village of their mother, a shaman . Matthias and Sajana get closer, but eventually he travels back to Germany. In the meantime, his company has stopped trading with Russia. Bleuel quits and travels back to Sajana in Siberia , gives Artjom and his friend his apartment key after learning from Ilka that she is pregnant. He jumps into a lake for winter bathing as the last shot of the film.

reception

Siberia , of all places, follows the woodcut dramaturgy that has been tried and tested since the Heimat- and wanderlust films of the fifties: people suffering from civilization are cured in the wild. The press material has enough humor to even point out that the dropouts of yore with their esoteric craze are just as petty as their economic miracle parents think: 'the kind of self-discovery story that is classically located in Tuscany or Provence.' […] And so, director Ralf Huettner, whose feel-good movie ' Vincent will Meer ' won the German Film Prize last year, reel offs his repertoire risk-free, mixes a bit of fuss with a bit of feeling and leaves rustic natural panoramas. "

"The film is a touching, magically poetic narrative based on Michael Ebmeyer's novel" Der Neuling "and mainly starred with Russian actors."

- Angelika Kettelhack : Russia TODAY

“Schematic comedy with rather simple gags and only a few coherent moments; an unoriginal variant of cultural clichés. "
