More than Strangers

Deutschland Griechenland 2022/2023 Spielfilm

The Frenchman Patrick just wants to transfer a car from Berlin to Paris so that he can be with his girlfriend in time for the birth of their child. To make the journey more lucrative, he takes four paying passengers along for the ride: the two young Germans Julia and Chris, the Greek Sofia and George from Ghana. But what begins as an uncomplicated journey soon turns into a conflict-laden odyssey, as one of the passengers has a severe problem that jeopardises the onward journey for all of them. This leads to tensions and fierce disputes until the involuntary travel companions realise that they will reach their destination only with solidarity and by joining forces.
