“A sentence that seemed to come out of nowhere”
Just as Lisa-Marie Dickreiter & Winfried Oelsner had published the third volume of their children’s book series MAX AND THE SENIOR SQUAD in 2016, film producer Martin Richter got in touch. He saw the potential for a family film that could connect generations. His son’s enthusiasm had drawn him towards the adventures of Max and his gang of senior citizens, who live in a retirement home. Ever since the film was successfully released in 2020, it has been screened constantly on German television.
