That Trip We Took with Dad

The turbulent year of 1968 and the “Prague Spring” set the scene for the moving story of this film. A Romanian German family living in the heart of Transylvania starts a journey to the German Democratic Republic. Two brothers with very different personalities take their weary father to have surgery abroad, which they hope would help restore the family’s lost harmony. Caught in the middle of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and closed in by the Soviet tanks, the men suddenly find themselves in West-Germany. How much sacrifice can they take until they can return back home to the rest of their family? Winner of 8 international prizes, including Federico Fellini Award, Tiburon International Film Festival, 2017.
