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. After returning to Europe, the innocent friendship between Winter and Alice grows as they travel together through various European cities on a quest for Alice's grandmother.

Thanks for the post TPF2. There's no sign of Region 1 discs yet. This is a strong first feature from the Wim-Meister.

the bedtime story winter tells alice+the way they catch up w/each other are good, but i was hoping the film would show their friendship growing even more. also i wish winter would get back to the article he had to write about the states. the growth of their friendhsip+winter coming to conclusions about the u.s. from his visit, the photos he took are missing from this film, but it's otherwise a good, intelligent film.
