The 27th Berlin & Beyond Film Festival
Family Affairs (Der Nachname)
It was supposed to be a harmonious family reunion. But no sooner have husband and wife Stephan (Christoph Maria Herbst) and Elisabeth (Caroline Peters) arrived on Lanzarote with new parents Thomas (Florian David Fitz) and Anna (Janina Uhse) than new conflicts start erupting in the Böttcher family. Elisabeth and Thomas can hardly believe it when their mother Dorothea announces that she and adopted son René are now married and that they want to have children!
Three years after the highly successful comedy of manners “How About Adolf?”, acclaimed director Sönke Wortmann (“Contra”, “Ms Müller Must Go”) is now back with the equally caustic sequel.
