SYNOPSIS

Twelve days on foot with a donkey from Munich to Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze: father Marcel (Mehdi Nebbou) and son Felix (Yoran Leicher) will certainly not forget this trip. What is intended as an educational measure for the pubescent son becomes a dramatic-comic test of endurance for both of them. For not only Felix struggles with himself and his relationship with his mostly absent father, but Marcel is also facing a new phase in his life. While donkey Maria stoically sets the pace on the hike, the two stubborn men are thrown back on themselves. In addition to the challenges of a mountain tour, father and son also encounter some unusual people who reflect their own longings and fears to them, bringing them closer together.
