action

55-year-old Bernd wants to spend a quiet weekend at the lake with his brother Peter and his buddy Klaus. However, Peter brings Murat with him, which Klaus doesn't like, because Murat once towed his daughter away and then dropped it.

When Klaus was injured in the head in a swimming accident, he asked for his dog Rudi. However, he has already been dead for two years, which Klaus keeps forgetting despite repeated declarations from his friends. The well-rehearsed exclamation “Not Rudi again!” Fades without effect, so that the men set out to look for the no longer existing pet in the forest to calm Klaus down. In doing so, they become increasingly entangled in their self-created imagination.

criticism

The film service judged that “the characters and the story on the subject of 'dementia' are basically sympathetic”, but “the low-budget tragicomedy lacks dramaturgical condensation and visual ideas”. So “the entertainment value remains low despite the well-behaved actors”.

The cinema magazine Cinema found the film to be a "[p] lumpy tragic comedy about senile dementia that is too cramped to be a feel-good movie and its gags penetratingly rolled out".

Awards

At the New Faces Awards 2016, Liebich and Şahin received a nomination as promising new directors.
