Alice in the Cities

German writer's block meets road movie when a stranded journalist inherits a nine-year-old girl with a Polaroid camera and no shared language. Their uneasy cross-country search for the girl's grandmother becomes a quiet portrait of responsibility. A deadpan West German road trip.
