Max Minsky and Me


Synopsis

Nelly Sue Edelmeister is a cerebral 13-year-old Berlin wallflower who lives for astronomy, with a desire to become a star basketball player. Her mother, however, feels she should concentrate on preparation for her forthcoming Bat Mitzvah.  To complicate matters further for Nelly, her parents’ marriage is disintegrating.  This is a charming and heartwarming coming-of-age film that will appeal to all ages and it is one of the few German films that depict modern day dilemmas of that country’s re-born Jewish community.
