Ballonfieber (2026)
Christin, a successful district judge, had long since given up on love, until a hot-air-balloon pilot named Max enters her life. What begins as a fleeting encounter develops into a tender, surprising connection: Christin has chosen to live alone, in the reliable company of her chatbot Hermann, but now Max is turning her structured world upside down. Although the single father is the same age as Christin’s daughter Miriam, he doesn’t fall in love with her—he falls in love with Christin.
