Plot
Recalling Czech crowd-pleaser Kolya (1996), German director Christian Diedrichs creates this heartwarming tale about a depressed widower and a mute child. Since his wife died of cancer three years ago, Federmann (Christian Redl) has felt empty and lost. During the days, he drives the No. 18 tram through eastern Berlin, and at nights he drinks at a local pub as Dora (Teresa Harder), a love-struck bargirl, looks on. His life suddenly changes when he thinks that he hit a child with his trolley. Escaping the suspicious eye of a cop, he takes the child from the hospital to his flat. The result breathes life into Federmann. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
