The film is probably one of the 3-4 films that came to the fore in the 10-film show of German films organized by Goethe-Institut Istanbul. As I am very selective, the bias becomes stronger when the films in question are German films. When it comes to the story of the movie I am familiar with, the method we watched for the first time, David Nawrath tells the very special story of a father and his son who have come closer to the son he has left in the face of the brutality caused by an illegal situation. When there is Berlin in the place .... Very nice. 10/10 Mustafa Kurtsen
Plot summary
60-year-old Walter Scholl is a mover for forced evictions. The former weightlifter is the best and most loyal hauler that Walter's boss Roland Grone employs at his house moving company. Walter ignores the increasing pain caused by his back-breaking job just as he refuses to see the agony of the people whose sphere of privacy he violates every day. Grone is planning a risky real estate deal with the help of a dubious family clan. A pre-2nd-World-War apartment house in one of the best neighborhoods is supposed to be rid of all tenants and re-sold with a huge profit. The problem: One remaining tenant refuses to leave his apartment despite a court order. Walter believes to recognize the stubborn young tenant as the son he abandoned decades before and hasn't seen since. Instead of revealing himself as his long lost father, Walter tries to get close to his adult son Jan and Jan's family. Once he gradually realizes how unpredictable the men Grone has gotten mixed up with really are, Walter increasingly gets caught in the middle.

Emotionally strong father-son-drama/-thriller set in Frankfurt/Main, Germany
The story/script is very good and so you can understand the protagonist, Walter (Rainer Bock),rather in hindsight. Furthermore all performances of the superb cast are top notch. This story is original and frighteningly realistic. The effort to watch this movie is rewarded by a really deep experience of the human condition.
