Based on the bestselling book by Mariana Leky, this whimsical drama set in a small village follows a series of eccentric characters who have their lives upended when a premonition occurs.
A whimsical tragicomedy with a stellar ensemble cast, What You Can See From Here is the miraculous story of an unusual village sprinkled with fairytale magic, based on the bestselling book by Mariana Leky.
On a beautiful spring day, a small tranquil village in the Westerwald wakes up to hear that Selma (Corinna Harfouch, Downfall, Deutschland89) has had a premonition: she dreamt of a rare animal again - an okapi. This means that someone is about to die and the eccentric villagers know it. Selma's granddaughter, 11-year-old Luise, and her best friend Martin look on as fears of being the victim of the prophecy throw the village into a frenzy of confusion. Luise doesn't want to lose anyone, but when the premonition comes true, the young girl’s world is suddenly turned upside down.
Ten years on, Luise (Luna Wedler, The Forger GER22) lives a quiet life working in a bookstore until the arrival of an unexpected guest enables her to rediscover how powerful and life-giving love can be.
