Maja’s and Uwe’s relationship is stuck in everyday routine. Their marriage is marked by laid-back relaxation. Their daughter Alina, in contrast, has just fallen in love with Nico and arranges a first meeting with Nico’s parents in a castle-like estate in Brandenburg. We soon find out, that the family reunion has some surprises in store. In this wonderful tragicomedy, Sommer circles around central questions of family- and married life.
