What Back on Track Is About

Paul Averhoff, once an Olympic marathon champion, is placed in a care home by his daughter and put into a life where other people decide how the day will go. His answer is to start running again and to enter the Berlin Marathon, training in the corridors and the garden under everyone's eyes. Kilian Riedhof does not reduce old age to a charming story about stubbornness; he also shows how an institution can treat a person as finished. Dieter Hallervorden, known in Germany for comedy, plays it entirely straight and carries the film.
