About Alwin auf der Landstraße
Ironically, at the beginning of the summer holidays, Alwins strict father has grounded him to get him to improve his spelling. Alwin feels like a prisoner and decides to run away heading to his grandparents in the Harz mountains nearly 200 kilometers away. On the road Alwin meets many people and with their help Alwin slowly progresses towards his destination.
Directed by Georg Leopold, Alwin auf der Landstraße leans on a strong ensemble — Andreas Schmidt, Bodo Müller, Martina Heister — 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 tv movie titles of 1974.
