Soltau

What would you do if you ran over a dog? Would you continue driving or would you get out and face the situation?

Sometimes the choices we are faced with bring a twist we didn't expect. A journey full of new discoveries.  That's exactly what happens to Jürgen, a terminally ill man on the way to the last thrill of his life. A roller coaster ride. But his destination, the roller coaster in Soltau, gives way to a journey that is a far greater challenge for him. On this journey, he must face his fears and fight against his inability to communicate with strangers. He can no longer escape, as he has done all his life. Jürgen realizes that the journey is the destination and that he must simply let go. Letting go becomes his final liberation.
