Garnelius

Deutschland Österreich 2022-2024 Spielfilm

2007: Karl (17) lives with his single father Werner (62) in a cramped flat in an East Berlin apartment block. His little brother David (8) is in a sheltered housing group. Karl feels overwhelmed in his contact with him, because David looks to Karl for what Werner can no longer provide as a father. What "Ossi" Werner has achieved and what Karl plans to achieve is discussed heatedly by the guests on Werner's birthday. Shortly afterwards, something unexpected happens: Karl lays an egg. He tries with all his might to keep the hatching creature alive.
