Grüner wird's nicht

Georg “Schorsch” Kempter has never been a man of many words. He spends his days working quietly as a gardener and landscaper in a small Bavarian town. His marriage has lost the little spark it had, and his daughter has grown tired of his detached demeanor. To top it all off, their family nursery is on the brink of bankruptcy, which means his true pride and joy - a beautiful red airplane - is about to be repossessed. And flying is the only thing that gives him any pleasure. When a client cheats Schorsch out of money for a major landscaping job, he finally snaps. Without notice or a plan, he fires up his little plane and heads for wherever a tank of gas will get him. The unexpected adventure will lead him to new places and people who will change his life and ultimately alter his future. It will also help him make peace with the past he could never confront. Touching, funny, and full of excitement, As Green as It Gets is an endearing tale of new beginnings. (Cleveland International Film Festival)
