Mathias is a teacher and has finally been transferred to his daughter’s middle school. But no sooner has he arrived than he learns that his German class is being canceled due to a lack of students. He then decides to organize a trip to Germany to motivate the teens to choose the language, and to fund it, he turns to Iris, the head of the local sister city committee. The catch is that Mathias is a Spanish teacher. Between Mathias, who doesn’t speak a word of German, the frustrated teens, and an irrational Iris, the school trip is shaping up to be utter chaos. Yet nothing will stop him from becoming the father his daughter no longer expects… and to achieve his goal, he’ll have to become awesome!

Seriously, and this is coming from someone who was extremely skeptical before giving it a watch. I assumed the show would be painfully boring, but one of the show's strongest qualities is you needn't know anything about the lore to get invested in it.
Even if Drive My Car (2021) doesn't win Best Picture, it exudes a palpable sense of dreariness and lifelessness that is further embodied by Yusuke, portrayed tragically by Hidetoshi Nishijima. Check out movie reviews & summary!
Netflix’s new comedy drama, Don’t Say Good Luck, is a heartwarming tearjerker as well as a love letter to the transformative power of being a theater kid. Directed by Julia Hart, Don’t Say Good Luck follows Sophie (Sunny Sandler), a theater kid who finally gets the lead role in her school’s production of Waitress - just as she finds out her mom Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is dying of cancer. While the singing is by no means spectacular and Sandler’s acting is stiff, the film is grounded in the moving performance of Lynskey as a mother who wants nothing more than for her daughter to achieve her dreams, even if she can’t be there to see them.
'Thirteen Lives' gives a dramatic adaptation of a humanitarian triumph that captured the global imagination.
