Plot
Shane Taylor, Benjamin Whitrow, and Eileen Nicholas star in Paul Cotter's bittersweet comedy about an old man who goes back to Germany to apologise to a village he accidentally bombed during the war.
Lovelorn art school graduate Ross is still down in the dumps when his eighty-three-year-old father announces plans for a family road trip to Germany. Back in the war, Ross's father accidentally bombed a small German town and he's regretted the mistake ever since. He's determined to make amends but getting to Germany won't be easy, because it's been years since father and son have exchanged a kind word. Along the way, father and son both learn some important lessons that will help them to be better, more compassionate people in the future.
