Der Pfingstausflug

Directed by Michael Günther

With Elisabeth Bergner, Martin Held, Evelyn Hamann, Edda Seippel and Brigitte Grothum

A melancholic enjoyable journey by an old couple who escape the dreary everyday life of a Berlin retirement home for a day: at Pentecost, Margarete and Heinrich come up with the idea of visiting their nephew, whom they believe to have invited them to dinner. So they set off on their own, and although they don't always know where they are or why they have actually set off, they have a wonderful day. Even if the police find them and bring them back before they reach their destination.
