Hochzeiten (2012)

Bernhard and Claire were once what one calls a "dream couple". Until Claire caught her godly husband on an affair and left him without further ado. More than 20 years have passed since then, but the two are still like fire and water. There are other reasons for this, however, because while the major entrepreneur Bernhard is developing ultra-modern and not exactly environmentally friendly aircraft, Claire is running a small nursery and is very successful as an environmental activist. But now her daughter Sophie, who works as an engineer in her father's company, wants to marry her colleague Ingo. The two workaholics seem to have a common job in particular. In this situation, parents have little choice but to sit down at the table to plan their wedding. This occasion comes in handy for Bernhard: He needs Claire's support to win an Indian industrialist for an important project for his troubled company. The man was in love with Claire years ago and Bernhard hopes that she will now let her charm play out again. Claire is initially furious when she learns of this plan. But the upcoming wedding also awakens memories of the common past - and so it doesn't take long before sparks of the amorous kind suddenly fly between the brawlers. Sophie too is confronted with a chapter from her past that was believed to have been closed for a long time. Her once great love Hans, a successful writer who once left her overnight and disappeared abroad, stands in front of her completely surprising. His appearance whirls the seemingly orderly emotional life of the young woman completely upside down. Soon Sophie has to wonder if she and Ingo really want to get married out of love.
