Selective Listening

Tangled lives of three young people who struggle to change their lives but end up failing.

Everything about the boys - their pranks - frolics - and escapades - a picture every boy - girl and everybody else should not miss.

He's the only man on earth. And she's just not that into him. Picking up twenty minutes after they've been kicked out of Eden, ADAM & EVE follows the courtship of the first man and first woman, they've been tasked with populating the earth, but he's more enthusiastic about the idea than she is. It's a typical coming-of-age story, with a guy and girl out on their own for the first time, fending for themselves, figuring things out, coming to terms with their sexuality, making sense of God's silence, and making their first fumbling forays into romance. It's a typical coming-of-age story--only this time the fate of the human race is at stake.

For Klemens Kurz there is nothing more fascinating than clouds. The autistic meteorologist can predict rain to the nearest ten minutes and becomes almost poetic when he talks about cloud formation. When his boss Dr. Mendel offers a research job in Spitsbergen, Norway, the scientist does not hesitate for long. However, his two pubescent children Nelli and Carlo have just as little interest in the Arctic as grandpa Arthur. To prevent the move, they devise a plan: If dad falls in love, he would have an unbeatable reason to stay. Of course it won't be easy to bring her father and his peculiarities to the woman. And just sending him out on a date won't work either. While his children are secretly thinking about how they can plant the dates on Klemens' behalf when they are looking for a partner online, the small miracle happens unnoticed: Dad falls in love with Lani, grandpa's clever new household help. Unfortunately, there is a catch: Lani is happily in a relationship with Martin, who wants to propose to her. In order to convince her, Klemens has to jump over his shadow. He has one advantage in his wooing: Lani is just as fascinated by clouds as he is.
