Film Screening at Goethe

Director: Carolin Genreith / 86 Minutes, 2016 Germany
After separating from his wife, Dieter Genreith has escaped his loneliness once a year by going from Eifel to Thailand. There, he got to know Tukta, who is about the same age as his own daughter, Carolin. Carolin has serious problems with the relationship: What differentiates her over-60-year-old father from the countless German sex tourists? In an attempt to understand her father, his longings and his fears, she made a very personal documentary in which both sides are open, honest and tolerant enough to learn from each other. In Thailand, Carolin ends up as her father's maid of honor. Indeed, whether the marriage can survive all the existing differences and preconditions remains to be seen.
