Director Statement
“Sascha’s story really touched me. How can you deal with the loss of such an important person in your life? She wants to find an answer for herself. When Sascha meets Volker and his son Felix, the film shows that adolescence can be sometimes comic and confusing. The great spiritual power of Sascha has inspired me.”
