Overview

What happens when you swap comfort and security for adventure and the unknown? A young family shows us how: They travel overland from Germany to India with two children - without a fixed plan, but with curiosity and an open mind.

Their road trip takes them through breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable encounters. From Europe to Georgia, through Iran and Azerbaijan, they meet people whose hospitality enriches their journey and dissolves their prejudices. In India, however, the journey takes an unexpected turn: With the birth of a new family member, the family suddenly find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of official arbitrariness as they are accused of surrogacy. They are detained for ten months and fight to leave the country. But they refuse to be discouraged and eventually find a way out...

After two years, back via Nepal, Kazakhstan and the Black Sea, they have grown as a family and have learned that the strongest response to mistrust and isolation is cohesion and trust.
