In this black comedy set in small-town Bavaria, 11-year-old Sebastian thinks you can never be too young to be a murderer. He's convinced that he killed his mother on the day he was born and is certain he's already been condemned to purgatory. Deciding he might be able to knock off a few years of his sentence by doing good deeds, Sebastian sets out to find a wife for his father Lorenz. When Lorenz and Sebastian's schoolteacher Veronika fall madly in love with each other, it seems the heavens must be smiling. There's just one hitch: Veronika is married.

Director Marcus H. Rosenmüller constructs a poignant tale on the delicate balance between childhood innocence and adult melancholy. He explores themes of guilt and redemption, relying on a warm, unsentimental humor that finds comedy in the collision of a child's absurd logic with life's genuine complexities.
What lingers after the credits is a bittersweet feeling—a story that is as funny as it is heartfelt, refusing to offer easy solutions. — MovieFinder Editorial
