Overview
German journalist Philip Winter has a case of writer’s block when trying to write an article about the United States. He decides to return to Germany, and while trying to book a flight, encounters a German woman and her nine year old daughter Alice doing the same. The three become friends (almost out of necessity) and while the mother asks Winter to mind Alice temporarily, it quickly becomes apparent that Alice will be his responsibility for longer than he expected.

00:16:27 You missed the deadline as far as I'm concerned.
00:20:05 You could be dumb for all I care.
00:23:15 especially the thought that things could ever change.
00:25:20 But even comparing them wouldn't calm me.
00:29:19 Where?
00:34:38 What have you got in there? Hot dogs?
00:40:36 Why don't you then?

00:48:40 So I had to watch the film.
00:52:08 You're a big help.

00:57:39 - You must be able to remember. - I can, too.

01:20:15 Yeech, that food they gave me at the police station!
01:22:58 Scribbling again?
01:25:19 Excuse me. Do you recognize this house?

01:41:45 Yeah, you didn't come back.
