Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

By an unlikely twist of fate, photographer Phil Winter finds himself stuck with a little girl, searching the cities of Germany for her grandmother, who's name and address she can't remember. The only clue they have is a photograph of her grandmother's front door with no house number and no one in the shot. The film's theme closely foreshadows Wenders' later film Paris Texas. Paris, Texas (1984) is a movie directed by Wim Wenders and is probably his most well-known and critically acclaimed work (in the English speaking world, at least). ...
