Der Mann auf dem Baum

The film follows Hans, a divorced hotel worker who feels increasingly marginalized in a society that he perceives as prioritizing femininity. As his ex-wife Linda plans to emigrate with their son Moritz, Hans feels powerless against decisions that impact his life and relationship with his child.
