Ms Stern is a Holocaust survivor, whose husband has died. Now at the age of 90, she has had enough of life. However, all her attempts to bow out in a manner of her own choosing fail: A doctor refuses to give her poison and burglars rescue her from the bath. Eventually, in the Berlin district of Neukölln, she sets off with her granddaughter in search of a firearm – and finds a new zest for life… No matter how ludicrous the situations, Anatol Schuster never betrays his fantastic protagonist (amateur actress Ahuva Sommerfeld) for a cheap joke. A film that brings happiness.
