No more iPad at breakfast. Not because we like banning things. But because a screen-free morning is where something different begins.

"These days our kids barely ask for the iPad anymore. They ask: What are we doing next?"

— Timo, father of three

Why We Do This

In 2016 I missed my daughter's first crawl. That's when we decided: time together is the greatest gift. It turned out to be the best decision we ever made.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

The Family

Timo (filmmaker, two theatrical films), Salima, and three daughters: 10, 6, and 3. Every one of them their own person. All five of them the main characters.

🗺

The Route

Germany, Morocco, West Africa — now heading toward the Balkans, Caucasus, Central Asia and Pakistan. Final destination: China. The third film is being made along the way.
