Lassie Come Home

Lassie Come Home (2020) is a German family adventure directed by Hanno Olderdissen, ready to watch online on iFILM. Twelve-year-old Florian and his collie Lassie are inseparable, sharing every day in a quiet village in the German countryside.

Then Florian's father loses his job. The family squeezes into a small apartment that forbids dogs, and Lassie has to be handed over to Count von Sprengel, who takes her off to the North Sea coast along with his headstrong granddaughter Priscilla. The collie refuses to settle for the separation. The first chance she gets, she breaks away and begins the long journey back. Hundreds of kilometers, strange roads and real dangers stand between her and the boy who raised her.

This fresh take on Eric Knight's classic plays it warm and unfussy, trusting the road itself — the people Lassie meets and the loyalty that pulls her forward. Sebastian Bezzel appears as Florian's father. It's built for a family movie night and younger viewers, yet it still tugs at adults who grew up on the older versions.
