This gave me quite a few chuckles, its a bittersweet comedy with an interesting idea for a story. Following an 83 year old war veteran who returns to Germany to try and atone for the destruction he caused during WW II.
The father has lived with terrible guilt after accidentally bombing a small town and now wants to make a formal apology. Along for the road trip is his son Ross who after a break-up and without any options is stuck back with his parents and driving the family camper van. Not fun for him but sure made me laugh.
As expected nothing goes according to plan but it does bring the family together. I particularly enjoyed how this trip forced the mother to examine her marriage and you do feel sorry for the father, the guilt he must have faced. 03.13
