The German box-office hit THIS CRAZY HEART, with more than 2 million admissions, is a moving true story of joy and hope for the next day, of dreams and intense friendship. German superstar Elyas M’Barek ("Fack Ju Goehte 3", "Who Am I") plays the leading role, while Philip Noah Schwarz makes an impressive screen debut at his side. Marc Rothemund directs the story with plenty of emotion and at a rapid pace.
