If you loved En un lugar de África, try Este niño necesita aire fresco
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Caroline Link, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to En un lugar de África, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Este niño necesita aire fresco is
The standard childhood-trauma-as-comedic-fuel movie, this time from Germany. The young Hans-Peter copes with his mother's depression through impersonations and precocious charm. It may not be hilarious, but at least it's heartfelt.
