CARL KOLLHOFF (73), who to his one-of-a-kind best friend SCHASCHA (14) is simply “The Book Stroller,” finally sets out on the grand trip to Italy that he once wanted to take with his late wife: Following in Goethe’s footsteps, he plans to travel to Rome to smuggle a penny novel into a venerable library. But just as he nears his destination, he realizes he isn’t ready to say goodbye yet. When Schascha reveals to him upon his return that her grandmother MARIA (69) decides she wants to move to Sweden with her, he realizes it’s not just his world that’s turned upside down. Because Schascha has just fallen in love for the first time in her life… A feel-good comedy about the last great love — and the very first. And about the rare, precious bond between two people who help each other grow up. No matter what age they are.
