Morris From America

The normal challenges of adolescence faced by 13-year-old African-American Morris Gentry (Markees Christmas) got ratcheted up to other dimensions when his soccer coach single dad (Craig Robinson) uprooted them to take a gig in Heidelburg, Germany. Between his aspirations to rap stardom, the kindness of a collegiate language tutor (Carla Juri), and the teasing interest of a rebellious classmate (Lina Keller), he’ll have a cross-cultural odyssey to remember, in this singular coming-of-age tale from Chad Hartigan (“This Is Martin Bonner”). 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio; Subtitles: English (SDH), Spanish.
