Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Winckelmann is a travelling salesman in Germany. Somehow he makes a living, but only with great difficulty. Over the course of the film, one learns a great deal about his personal life. His father still dreams of the time he visited Miami in the U.S., and his current girlfriend appears to be ready to leave him and her current life behind for a job in Belgium. As for his ex-wife, Winckelmann isn't the one who initiated the break, and he misses her and the child he has helped raise.
