Synopsis

Spoiler shield

A road movie about two very different brothers who have not seen each other for 20 years: city manager Christian and cabinetmaker Georg, who never left their hometown and took care of their father until his passing. After their fathers funeral, the brothers decide on a whim, and with some help from the alcohol, to fulfil their old dream: travel trough Germany together on their mopeds.

The postcard-perfect cinematography beautifully shows off and contrasts locations like Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein, Berlin and Brandenburg. From wide open fields and lush forests through to cosmopolitan Berlin, it’s pure tourism porn. If you’re a fan of unpretentious odd-couple comedies and Weihenstephan Hefe Weissbier, ‘25 km/h’ comes highly recommended. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-25-kmh-a-supremely-easygoing-german-comedy Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/germanfilmfest for more German Film Festival reviews.
