Berlin's Danny Bach, single and lead singer of a garage band, actually has something better to do than take care of his orphaned 14-year-old cousin from Kazakhstan. But the smart, charming Ekaterina will soon be part of the family. And it hits Danny hard when he learns that the girl is terminally ill. This funny and soulful Christmas film is a sensitive plea for “One World”: the possibility of understanding beyond national and cultural differences.
