Synopsis:

Two misfit boys find each other, building a small cabin in the woods to create a new life. Their daily struggle for survival creates a strong bond between them until the hut is destroyed and one of the boys carted off. The former psychiatric patient is told that his friend was just a figment of his imagination, but this provokes him to fight back and prove the boy's existence.

When a mentally unstable mathematician from Berlin ends up homeless, he befriends a similarly vulnerable young Ukrainian boy to find solace in nature in "Hut in the Woods," helmer Hans Weingartner's competent but fractionally too sentimental drama. Although thesps Peter Schneider and Timur Massold make an affecting duo, pic is infected with a twee, post-hippy strain of German Romanticism, while the script makes its big author's-message points with thudding obviousness, also a flaw inherent in Weingartner's earlier pics, "The Edukators" and "Reclaim Your Brain." After a couple of fest forays, pic will open domestically in February.

Martin Blunt (Schneider) is forcibly admitted to a mental hospital and then, seemingly some time later, released. Turns out Martin has a beautiful but unbalanced mind that allows him to solve Sudoku problems in seconds, but his obsession with numbers has cost him his job at an urban planning firm and his relationship with g.f. Petra (Julia Jentsch), who shacked up with someone else while Martin was institutionalized.
