Our take

An intergenerational family road trip from Germany to Bulgaria on a tandem bicycle is the chosen cure to a case of amnesia in this original drama spanning thirty years. A story that is propelled by its charming vitality and endearing characters, and based on Ilija Trojanov’s autobiographical novel.
