Schmid’s debut feature stars Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) as Anna, a seventeen-year-old who runs away to Munich with her devoted admirer Simon after a row with her eccentric father. After she tries her luck as a singer, she becomes immersed in the self-absorbed world of public relations. When her worried parents also go off to Munich in search of their prodigal daughter, they discover that the big city is as much of a "jungle experience" for them as it is for Anna. Schmid’s winning comedy on modern German family life marked the first of several collaborations with screenwriter Michael Gutmann.
