Ballonfieber (2026)
The verdict
Ballonfieber is brand new to the list — too early for the numbers on this German film to mean much yet. It keeps things short at 88 minutes — no heavy commitment required. It's in theatres in Germany now — best caught on the big screen.
Story
Christin, a successful district judge, had long since given up on love, until a hot-air-balloon pilot named Max enters her life. What begins as a fleeting encounter develops into a tender, surprising connection: Christin has chosen to live alone, in the reliable company of her chatbot Hermann, but now Max is turning her structured world upside down. Although the single father is the same age as Christin’s daughter Miriam, he doesn’t fall in love with her—he falls in love with Christin.
