Synopsis

Australian premiere

 Der Buchspazierer

Based on the best-selling novel by Carsten Henn, which was inspired by a real bookstore in Aachen, The Door-to-Door Bookstore is a charming and heartfelt ode to books and readers.

Every day, in the back room of a bookshop Carl Kollhoff (Christoph Maria Herbst) carefully wraps books in paper to personally deliver to his regular customers in town. Books are the greatest joy of the shy older man, who lives for the printed word. Although he avoids contact with other people, he knows his loyal customers’ preferences and takes pride in selecting the perfect story for each of them.

One day, curious nine-year-old Schascha follows him on one of his rounds and Carl reluctantly accepts the new companion. But Schascha quickly wins the hearts of Carl's regular customers and turns their lives upside down, while also helping Carl break out of his closed world.
