About

Growing up on the grounds of the largest psychiatric hospital in Schleswig-Holstein is weird. For young Joachim the patients are practically part of the family. They are also much nicer to him than his two older brothers. His mother longs for Italian summer nights instead of northern German rain, while his father secretly goes his own way. Based on the bestselling autobiography by Joachim Meyerhoff, this film explores the difficulties of being a family.
