criticism
“A sympathetic story, presented with mentally and physically handicapped people from a Bremen theater group who are supported by well-known German actors. Even if the characters are hardly explored by the disabled, are rather wooden by the professionals and the staging often seems awkward, the basic tone of the film is remarkable due to its unadulterated understanding and openness.
