“Vincent will Meer” is a new German tragic comedy that I’d like to recommend today. The title is a wordplay. The literal translation is “Vincent wants sea”. But since das Meer = sea and mehr = more is equally pronounced, it could also mean “Vincent wants more”.

The movie is about this guy Vincent who suffers from the Tourette-Syndrome. One day he escapes from the mental institution. His big goal: going to the shores of the Mediterrean Sea. And he’s not alone on this mission: two fellow patients, the anorexic Marie and the neurotic Alexander are coming with him. As you can imagine the trip isn’t “normal” and easy at all ;)
