Barefoot

Barefoot

People like Jay are always distinguished by their temper and carefreeness. His family knows that first of all he is a brawler and a reveler who cannot be taken as seriously as one would like. But the situation changes dramatically when, in order to atone for his guilt after another misdemeanor, he works in a psychiatric clinic. There he meets Daisy, a strange, but at the same time seemingly normal girl who likes to walk barefoot. Together with her, although it is a very unusual (and unexpected) experience for both of them, they go to the wedding of Jay's brother. Unexpected adventures and discoveries within themselves should simply bring these people together.

The fact is that the film by American Andrew Fleming is a remake of Thiel's film with Thiel Schweiger in the lead role. Thus, the remake became the second major, and almost the only, work of screenwriter Steven Zotnovsky. The director chose the city of New Orleans as the main location for working on the film, where almost all of the working days of the film crew actually took place. The film premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in early February 2014, thus giving it direction as a commercial film that was purchased for rental by cinemas around the world. However, if the original film won the Bambi Award in its native Germany, a kind of German analogue of the Oscar, the remake was quite different. Back in the early days, "Barefoot through the City" received fairly average, if not the worst, reviews from Western critics. At the same time, among the general mass of cinema-goers, the film gained trust and love even in the first stages of showings. When Scott Speedman was offered the lead role in the film, he accepted in part because of his future co-star Evan Rachel Wood, whom he singles out as a very good actress of her generation.
