Im Prinzip Familie

Daniel Abma
2024, Germany, 90 min

Watch this film
Five children sit around a dining table. Instead of “mum” and “dad”, they say “Mrs. Wagner” and “Mr. Gerecke”. In this ephemeral semblance of a family, between parental love and the bureaucracy of youth welfare services, social workers do everything they can to create a home for children. A film about the superpower that is raising a child, and family in all its forms.
