Alive and Ticking
Eva lives a happy life with her father, an unsuccessful but always optimistic car salesman, her consumerist mother, and her quirky grandmother. But Eva is a tad different - she suffers from Tourette's syndrome. Her family has long been accustomed to her tics and the accompanying insults and bullying, and Eva has come to grips with her role as an outsider. When her father gets a job offer to work in Berlin, they must suddenly leave their familiar surroundings. But Eva won't have it, this move must be prevented - at any price!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Andreas Dresen constructs a narrative that focuses not on the syndrome, but on the person living with it. He builds an intimate family portrait where Tourette's is simply part of the daily fabric, not a source of melodrama. The film relies on Jasna Fritzi Bauer's nuanced performance, which explores the line between defiance and fragility without resorting to sentimentality.
What lingers after the credits is a warm, unsaccharine ode to growing up, where humor is a defense mechanism and family is the strangest, yet safest harbor. It’s a gentle reminder that normal is vastly overrated. — MovieFinder Editorial
