Synopsis


From festival favourite Sönke Wortmann (How About Adolf?, Family Affairs), this third film reunites the stellar all-star ensemble including Iris Berben, Florian David Fitz, Christoph Maria Herbst and Janina Uhse, for an entertaining and biting comedy set in the picturesque Tyrolean Alps. When Anna and Thomas invite their eccentric families to a luxury ski resort for their wedding, their guests bring unexpected chaos with them. Invited to the wedding are Thomas' sister Elisabeth, her constantly nagging husband Stephan, and their teenage children Antigone and Cajus; as well as Thomas' mother Dorothea, who is in constant contact with her husband René. But the celebratory atmosphere is at risk as there is endless bickering and discussions about helicopter parenting, unexpected careers and troubles at work. It doesn't take long for the various family members to find themselves at odds with tensions beginning to rise as secrets, unresolved issues, and chaotic family dynamics all threaten to jeopardise the big day.
