press release:
The romantic and coming-of-age misadventures of a 13-year-old American living in Germany. (USA|2016|91mins) "…13-year-old Morris has found himself in Heidelberg Germany. His father Curtis, a widowed soccer coach, has taken a European job in a town where the two of them are probably the only African-Americans in residence. Morris has a German tutor, but he is having a tough time with the language and an even harder time making friends. His fondness for rap music only gets him in more trouble with his peers, but it also brings him attention from the pretty Katrin. Gradually, Morris’ friendship with Katrin brings new experiences to his life and changes his relationship to Curtis.” -Jim Healy, Wisconsin Film Festival
