2013 · Documentary · 92 MIN · India, Germany · German, English

Good Luck Finding Yourself is sensitive, optimistic, lighthearted, and often ironic. It is a very enjoyable, contemplative journey to a place of extreme living on the Indian subcontinent, and at the same time a wonderful generational portrait of a different kind.Artechock

Amid gurus, Ganges pilgrims, sari vendors, and sacred cows, the approaching end of life becomes an occasion to celebrate pure being as a source of motivation and the journey itself as a tribute to our existence. Jutta wants to “come alive again”.
