Head full of honey

Til Schweiger, 2018
Synopsis

HONEY IN THE HEAD is a story about a special love, the love between MATILDA and her grandfather LUCAS. Lucas has Alzheimer's. He always was the bon vivant, the humorous and beloved head of the family; now he starts acting like a child. Only the ten-year-old Matilda can deal with him and his disease - she looks at it with the eyes of a child and a kind of humour and sensitivity that makes it easier to approach Lucas when he is lost in his new own world. This special connection approaches the disease in a humorous but emotional way, without forgetting about its tragedy. Lucas's condition is getting worse after his wife died. It seems to be a desperate situation, because Matildas's parents SARAH and NIKO cannot take care of him. The only way they think they can help Lucas is to bring him to a nursing home. But little Matilda doesn't want to have her granddad in such a "home", so she kind of kidnaps him and helps him fulfill his last big dream to see Venice once again.
