Heimat ist kein Ort

The unemployed taxi driver Klaus, the gay dog sitter Uwe and the strict nurse Inge did not have an easy childhood. Her mother died too early, the father then gave her home. Now the old man has died and for the hated Kurbjuweits is the Notarbesuch on. Klaus, Uwe, Inge and their daughter Jule now hope to inherit money and real estate - but they are surprised by an unusual testament. They have to scatter the ashes of the dead in places in their East Prussian homeland, which were important to the father. Together with the young Polish notary Krzysztow, who is supposed to supervise the proper implementation, they are leaving for good or ill. It takes them almost to Polish prison and soon to a wedding, where they understand better not only the father, but also himself better.

Directed by Udo Witte, Heimat ist kein Ort leans on a strong ensemble — Marie Gruber, Jörg Schüttauf, Sönke Möhring — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2015.
