Weddings and Wokes: A Family Dilemma

Der Spitzname

Directed by Sönke Wortmann

Cast: Caroline Peters, Christoph Maria Herbst, Florian David Fitz, Iris Berben, Janina Uhse

Anna and Florian want to get married and unite their families in a ski resort in Tirol. But the celebratory atmosphere is on the verge of collapse as discussions about helicopter parents, wokeness and the meaning of sensibility training arise. This is third of Sönke Wortmann’s familial tragicomedies, following How About Adolf? and Family Affairs, which both screened at previous Berlin & Beyond Film Festivals.
