Another movie from the International Film Festival in Berlin. But this one is a tough sell. The title (at least the English title, I don't know how accurate it's translated from the original one) might suggest a happy movie ... or for cynics a horror film, in which Michael Jackson stars ...

Seriously though, this movie is about acquiring Adulthood. But than again, it's more about staying a kid inside, too. A son who also tries (even literally) to go "back" ... which leads to some disgusting scenes (viewer discretion is absolutely advised) and a romance ... if you can call it that. But still in all this mess, this movie somehow, more often than not, retains the path it chose and remains philosophical enough for you to like it (if you can get "into" it). The ending might be confusing, but then again, it also might a really obvious one for you ...
