A Journey Into Bliss poster

The film deals loosely with the adventures of the grizzled Gustav who captains a ship – a giant floating ‘snailboat’ – with a crew of talking animals and lumbering sailors in blackface. It unspools like a perverse children’s story book, all at once cuddly cute, grotesquely obscene and beyond absurd as normal narrative logic shatters, giving way to an episodic, free-associative structure that one critic likened to “cinematic memory association.” (joergbuttgereit.com)

At least that's what Paul, who is now Engelmann's driver, claims. Paul takes care of pretty much everything that concerns Engelmann's private life, but especially Julia, Alexander's six-year-old daughter, who grows up in the motherless household like a charming but wild plant - pretty to look at, but extremely prickly. She needs a mother! But how does Engelmann find a woman who isn't just speculating on the millions? It goes without saying that a lot goes wrong during the search. But thanks to the prudent and level-headed Paul, the right woman is found for Engelmann and a suitable mother for Julchen.
