Datsche

I watched this lovely gem at the Snowdance film festival in Germany. The story is full of heart and I just want to see what happens next. I think you can only see it in film fest for now so keep an eye out for it.

There were no written reviews except 5 stars so I felt compelled to add some words.

A simple, almost diary like, retelling of a single summer in a strange cottage on the edge of Germany. Beautiful and compelling, I automatically came here to see what else had been made by the same team. But - this is it - one simple slice of life, funny, sad, and honest. A glimpse into some interesting peoples lives, and a way to reminisce about lost summers of our own youths.

Fantastic film and a easy recommendation to anyone who enjoys a more relaxing pace to their movies, or who has travelled and found friendship themselves.

It feels like you're on Summer holiday at your Aunt or Uncle's, and you've gotten the dates wrong! Lol. Meeting the neighbours and exploring the space for yourself sets the tone

Zack carries the lead role perfectly, giving a pretty instant warmth and likeability to his character. The journey through his Summer is filled with characters of colour, warmth, and some unexpected depth

The drama within this dry comedy is compelling, as it mirrors reality really well, with the setting carrying this feeling even further. I laughed a lot, as well as sitting back and thinking on some of the dynamics and dialogue that are played out

What a great movie!
