Description

As part of the 2026 Children's Rights Film Days, the family film "Greetings from Mars" will be shown, which tells the story of 10-year-old Tom. The boy dreams of being the first human to fly to Mars, but first he has to spend four weeks with his grandparents in the countryside. For Tom, who needs clear structures and routines, this is a particular challenge. His grandparents live at a completely different pace, but together with his older siblings, he dares to embark on the adventure.

With plenty of humor and a positive outlook, the film offers an insight into the world of its autistic protagonist through clever camera angles and sound effects. Suitable for children aged 8 and up, the film was directed by Sarah Winkenstette, with the screenplay written by Sebastian Grusnick and Thomas Möller. The main roles are played by Gisa Flake, Cem-Ali Gültekin, and Theo Kretschmer.
