“I don’t want to be that idiot anymore who misses out on life.” Warner Bros Germany debuted an official trailer for a German movie opening February 2024 titled A Million Minutes, or Eine Million Minuten in German. It’s based on the book “One Million Minutes: What My Daughter Taught Me About Time” from Wolf Küper, about his own experiences living a more healthier, sustainable life. The Küper family’s life is turned upside down when their daughter Nina is diagnosed with a motor disorder. In search of a better way of life, they spend 694 days in Thailand & Iceland and discover a new world full of time for her and each family member. But social norms and the expectations of family members put their deceleration to the test. “One million minutes, 694 days, almost two years… The Küpers set off in search of a new, different way of life and discover anew every day: we only have every minute once.” Starring Karoline Herfurth & Tom Schilling (from A Coffee in Berlin, Before the Fall) as the parents, with Pola Friedrichs and Piet Levi Busch as their kids.

Here’s the official German trailer (+ poster) for Christopher Doll’s A Million Minutes, from YouTube:
Everyone knows it: the really important things are not on the stupid to-do lists. But why not? – From the outside, Vera (Karoline Herfurth) & Wolf Küper (Tom Schilling) lead a dream life with their two children Nina (Pola Friedrichs) and her one-year-old brother Simon (Piet Levi Busch): a nice apartment in Berlin, he has a career as a biodiversity researcher at the UN, she works as a construction engineer specializing in sustainability alongside the household & children. But on closer inspection, things look very different: the marriage is in crisis and, like most couples, both are in the unfortunate dilemma of juggling everyday life with the feeling that they can no longer do life justice. When Nina is diagnosed with developmental delay, Wolf and Vera realize that something has to change fundamentally. One night at bedtime, Nina suddenly says: “Oh, Dad, I wish we had a million minutes. Just for the really nice things, you know?” The wish hits Wolf right in the heart and he suddenly realizes that it’s much more important how Nina, Vera and Simon are doing and that every minute they spend together is more valuable than a brilliant career.
