Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and people who believe in big gestures. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young. Fans of Romeo and Juliet or West Side Story should feel right at home. The chemistry carries it.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

18-year old Georg and 13-year old Barbara have been playing together as children. Play becomes love later, which leads to a catastrophe , as their parents are hostile leading to file a report to the court, as Barbara is still under age.
