Synopsis:

Life could be wonderful for Livia and Marco: they are good-looking, young, and the parents of Tim. He is nine months old and his high-pitched wailing is wearing their patience thinner by the night. And this when he was actually supposed to be repairing his parents' troubled relationship. Instead of sleep, or sleeping with each other, Livia and Marco now get up every night, get dressed, and climb into their rattling old Golf, the motor noise of which is the only thing that calms Tim. One night the inconceivable occurs. A petty criminal rocker and his date pinch the car - and with it the child. Tim may be able to sleep on in peace but his parents are racked by fear and anxiety. This is the start of a mad hunt through the night marked by screams, silence, high speeds, sharp braking and changes of direction. Will the day indeed bring about a new direction for Livia, Marco and Tim?

In the protracted opening, frigid Livia (Alexandra Maria Lara, Suter adaptation 'Small World') and hubby Marco (Sebastian Blomberg) take their incessantly crying 9-month-old (Tiziano Jaehde) for an autobahn ride, since speeding's the only thing that pacifies him. During a bathroom break, their car is stolen by a joyriding duo (Georg Friedrich, the very good Carol Schuler), forcing the parents to 'borrow' a resourceful criminal's (Andreas Matti) vehicle and follow them into the backwoods at nighttime. Assembly is competent, but tone becomes neither suspenseful nor out-and-out comedic, instead remaining - tres Swiss - frustratingly neutral.

A car with a dozing baby inside is stolen from a gas-station parking lot in "Lullaby Ride," from Swiss helmer Christoph Schaub.
