Honig im Kopf

Eleven-year-old Tilda loves her grandpa Amandus more than anything. But when his wife Margarethe passes away, grandpa Amandus becomes increasingly helpless. Gradually, he loses track of his life. Then comes the doctor's diagnosis: Amandus has Alzheimer’s, the disease of forgetting. When Tilda's parents want to take their beloved grandpa to a nursing home, Tilda runs away with Amandus. An adventurous journey into the land of memories begins. When I'm with grandpa, I quickly pull him along with me. "Come on, grandpa. We need to hide." Grandpa doesn't understand anything anymore. "Where are the Russians?" he asks, surprised. Again, he thinks we are at war. I don't have time to explain everything to him now. Breathless, I pull him into the women's restroom. I quickly lock the door behind us. "We'll stay here until they're gone," I say to grandpa. Exhausted, we both fall asleep. "Honig im Kopf" by Til Schweiger is one of the most successful films in Germany from 2014.
