VINCENT WANTS TO SEA (Germany)

                 Coachella Valley Premiere – One Time Screening

Vincent (Florian David Fitz) suffers from Tourette’s Syndrome and, after his mother’s death, is institutionalized by his father (Heino Ferch – DOWNFALL, THE BAADER MEINHOF-COMPLEX).  He later escapes with two fellow patients — an anorexic named Marie (Karoline Herfurth – THE READER, YEAR AGO IN WINTER) and the obsessive-compulsive Alexander (Johannes Allmayer).  

Vincent’s mission is simple.  He wants to bury his mother’s ashes in the seas off Italy, as was her dying wish.  But the real problem is that Vincent and his friends threaten to drive each other crazy.
