Nico's Weg

     So in this post, I am going to write a review of a German film titled "Nico's Weg". This is a film which we are tasked to watch and make a review of.

    So it all started with a person named Nico who has just arrived in Germany from Sevilla, Spain. However, just shortly after going out of the airport, Nico left his bag alone and a taxi driver mistook the bag for its customer. Then, a person named Lisa and her niece Emma saw him and decided to help Nico find his bag and find his aunt Yara. Just as he thought he had found the taxi driver who took his bag but turns out his bag wasn't there. Then they decided to call Lisa's dad who is a police officer to help them find Nico's bag. However, it is very hard to find his bag because all of his items are in his bag. 

    Throughout the long journey, Nico met many new friends like Sebastian, Nahwin, Nina, Max, Tarek, and many other people who helped him throughout his search for his bag. He bonded with all of these people and managed to have fun and bonding conversations through each one of them. He was really helped by these people by doing everything that they could to find his missing bag and her aunt Yara.   

    Finally, after the long search, Nico found his aunt's address and met her aunt Yara. He was also very lucky to find his bag which was a small chance, as it was just there by the side of the street. 

    There is a lot of moral stories from this movie. However, the one that struck me the most was to never give up and always help others. In the movie, Lisa and her friends decided to help Nico even though he was just a stranger to them and even helped him find his bag and his aunt Yara. It was also not an easy feat, as in the movie it was told that Nico didn't have any address or phone number to find any way to find his bag, but they still insisted on helping Nico until they found both his bag and his aunt Yara which was really inspiring for me.

    In my opinion, this movie is very good for beginners like me who are learning German as the language is very simple and it has many variations of conversations throughout the whole movie. It teaches me to understand German culture, German language, German atmosphere, and so on. So for me, it was a very good and educational movie.

    However, in my opinion, the movie itself was a little bit far fetched. There were many things that I was so confused about. For example, I don't think any stranger could just be taken into their house. It just seems unrealistic for me. I don't know if it's really true and it could really happen or if it was just for the sake of the movie. For me, it's just so rare to find people like that who would just take a stranger inside their house and even stayed there.

    Also, for me, the plot was a little bit forced. What I mean is that there are several things in the movie that could have just been excluded and didn't have any significance to the plot or to the story. For example, the scene where Nico was cooking at Inge's house, where he also broke several dishes, that part was not important at all to the course of the movie.
