People are different. Adaptation is necessary. “To you or to me?”
A dynamic rhythm and a lot of humour create a loving kaleidoscope of all possible contrasts, city and country, man and woman, old and young, tradition and modernity, locals and strangers, convention and courage, diverse forms of love - and all this in Bubenhausen! "Home is where you find yourself," says Lisa Miller in “Landrauschen”.
