My brother Simple Germany 2017 | 113 min | OV | Colour | FF 2017

Ben (Frederick Lau) and his brother Barnabas (David Kross) have been very close ever since Ben can remember. Barnabas, also known as "Simpel", is 22, but has the mental capacity of a 3-year old. Even though Simpel can be really irritating, life without him is for Ben absolutely unimaginable. When their mother dies unexpectedly, the authorities want to put Simpel in a home. To escape this fate, the brothers flee, setting out on a crazy odyssey across North Germany until they reach Hamburg – and until Ben realizes: he has to find their father David (Devid Striesow). Highly emotional and at the same time very funny, Simpel portrays an unusual pair of brothers whom nothing can separate.
