Vamos a la Playa
The tropical island Cuba is the main setting for Bettina Blümner's fourth feature film "Hello My Friend" after her previous films "Pool of Princesses", "Broken Glass Park" and "Parcours D'Amour". The road movie follows three friends Katharina, Judith and Benjamin as they travel to Cuba to search for Judith's brother Vanja, who has disappeared on the island during a research semester studying the legendary manatee. While Katharina seems to be more interested in picking up local men for sexual adventures, a tender love story develops between Benjamin and Judith. But then she attracts the amorous attentions of the salsa dance teacher Ignacio with unforeseen repercussions...
