The Berlin & Beyond Film Festival is proud to present the international premiere of the third film in Marcus H. Rosenmüller's celebrated "Best" Trilogy.
Since graduating from high school five years ago, best friends Jo (Rosalie Thomass) and Kati (Anna Maria Sturm) have not been in touch with each other. While Jo has been traveling the world ending up in India Kati has been struggling with college life and her final exams. After receiving a disturbing voicemail from Jo, Kati immediately drops everything and returns to her hometown in rural Bavaria to round up the old buddies in order to launch a rescue mission for Jo. Time has passed there, too. Rocky (Ferdinand Schmidt-Modrow, The Wave) and Toni (Volker Bruch, Generation War) are caught up in their own marriages and family lives, so naturally their response to Kati's idea is not filled with enthusiasm. Outraged and disappointed, but still convinced she's doing the right thing, Kati sets off on her own en route to an Ashram in India, as Jo is on her way home.
