About How I Taught Myself to Be a Child
Paul Silberstein, youngest son of an urbane but deeply strange old Austrian dynasty of confectionery millionaires, discovers the power of love and humor - and also his own extraordinary ability to shape his realities. Based on the motives of the short story with the same name by André Heller.
Directed by Rupert Henning, How I Taught Myself to Be a Child leans on a strong ensemble — Karl Markovics, Sabine Timoteo, André Wilms — 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 adventure titles of 2019.
