This movie is just something for the heart and for dog owners / dog lovers. For this reason alone, it was a must-see for me. As a Katharina Thalbach fan, I was very happy to see her, even if it was only in a supporting role. Her Berliner Schnodder alone is a joy and she embodies her role wonderfully.

Seeing the dogs and their owners at the beginning, with a cheerful soundtrack ( Stand by me ), is beautiful and puts everyone in a good mood.

Even Guido Maria Kretschmer makes a brief appearance with his dogs.

The actors all fit their respective roles, are likeable and complement each other.

Also, praise to Maite Kelly, I don't know if it was her debut as an actress, but she fills her role so cutely well that it was delicious to watch her play, I really wouldn't have thought that.

All in all, this makes for a heartwarming movie about separation, bumpy new beginnings and the struggles of life, which are enriched by our four-legged friends for life, who also often build bridges (for us). It follows various fates that are shaped by their dogs. And a soundtrack that puts you in a good mood and that you would listen to on a warm summer's day in Caprio.

I even watched the movie twice, once with my mother and once with my husband, and the second time was also very entertaining. I think it's also difficult to find "feel-good" movies that put you in a good mood at the end of the day, especially after a stressful / annoying day at work.

It's possible that I'll watch it a third or fourth time, because unfortunately there are often too few of these lovable movies, but then with an egg liqueur ;-)

------------- Conclusion: Worth seeing - for all dog lovers who are also okay with German productions.
