When art historian Kristine tries to recover her voice in the family’s holiday house in South France, she gets tangled up in a sudden love affair with her daughter‘s boy- friend. Kristine’s husband Herbert isn’t a spoilsport either and hops over to his old friend Maurice (Hans-Jochen Wagner) ... Nana Neul’s anarchic marriage merry-go-round is a contagiously wild tragical comedy about old certainties and a new life beyond being 50.​

Q&A with Hans-Jochen Wagner and Nana Neul after the film.
