Eine Million Minuten

In the organizer's words:

Basically, everyone knows that the really important things are not on those annoying to-do lists. But why not? From the outside, Vera (played by Karoline Herfurth) and Wolf Küper (played by Tom Schilling) lead a dream life with their two children Nina (played by Pola Friedrichs) and one-year-old brother Simon (played by Piet Levi Busch): a nice apartment in Berlin, he has a career as a biodiversity researcher and expert for the United Nations, she juggles household and children alongside her job as a civil engineer specializing in sustainability. But a closer look reveals a very different reality: their marriage is in crisis and, like most couples, they are both stuck in the unfortunate dilemma of not being able to cope with the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

When Nina is diagnosed with developmental delay, Wolf and Vera realize that something has to change fundamentally.

One evening, at bedtime, Nina suddenly says: "Oh, Dad, I wish we had a million minutes. Just for the really nice things, you know?" This wish touches Wolf deeply, and he suddenly realizes that it is much more important how Nina, Vera and Simon are doing, and that every minute together is more valuable than a glittering career.

One million minutes, 694 days, almost two years. Let's go! First to Thailand, then on to Iceland. The Küpers set off in search of a new, different way of life and realize anew every day: we only have every minute once.
