Crowdfunding since 2010

A Roadmovie - with road, love, friendship, adventure and world saving on a small scale.

Matthias, who was born in East Berlin, is a slick worker in an advertisement agency. But one day his routine gets disrupted by the order to scatter the ashes of his mum, a convinced socialist, at a very special place. He has to travel to a deserted island off the shore of Cuba, that Fidel Castro once donated the GDR: Cayo Ernesto Thälmann - Ernesto’s Island. Matthias takes a trip, that becomes more and more a search for a true home.

Dear supporters,

the pandemic seems to be coming to an end and we have hope again.
With a little bit of luck, we’ll bring the film to cinemas in this fall.

Everything now depends on whether we get funding from the Medienboard for the theatrical release or not. We keep our fingers crossed.

And with this email we would like to thank you again for your patience in this matter, your support and trust.

Between us, it wasn't that great up to now, to speak frank there was no perspective for a long time.

And on top this, we hadn’t had any plan to tell to the many people who worked or helped making the movie.

So that's how it is now. We're getting ready for the cinema. And as planned before, the film will be shown on TV after the theatrical release on ARTE and RBB.
For anyone waiting for the DVD, poster, streaming links or screenings from us... these will be ready around the time of the theatrical release.

We'll keep you posted on all of this stuff.

Love from
Ronald

Liebe Unterstützerinnen und Unterstützer,

die Pandemie scheint sich dem Ende zu neigen und wir haben wieder Hoffnung und werden den Film voraussichtlich im Herbst ins Kino bringen.

Alles hangt nun davon ab ob wir für die Kinoherausbringung vom Medienboard gefördert werden. Wir drücken uns die Daumen.

Und mit dieser Email möchten wir uns auch nochmal für Eure Geduld in dieser Sache bedanken, eure Unterstützung und Vertrauen.

Zwischen uns, es war nicht so geil bis hierher, gerade weil es lange Zeit keine Perspektive gab. Und man unter anderem auch nicht den vielen Leuten, die an diesem Projekt mitgewirkt haben, sagen konnte, wie es weitergeht.

Also so ist es jetzt. Wir machen uns an die Vorbereitungen fürs Kino. Im TV wird der Film wie geplant nach der Kinoveröffentlichung auf ARTE und RBB zu sehen sein.
Für alle, die auf DVD, Poster, Streaming-Links oder Vorführungen von uns warten,… diese wird es rings um den Kinostart geben.

Wir halten euch mit all diesen Sachen auf dem Laufenden.

Lieben Gruss
Ronald
