| Summary |
Winfried doesn't see much of his working daughter Ines. The suddenly student-less music teacher decides to surprise her with a visit after the death of his old dog. It's an awkward move because serious career woman Ines is working on an important project as a corporate strategist in Bucharest. Practical joker Winfried loves to annoy his daughter with corny pranks. What's worse are his little jabs at her routine lifestyle of long meetings, hotel bars and performance reports. Father and daughter reach an impasse, and Winfried agrees to return home to Germany. Enter flashy 'Toni Erdmann', Winfried's smooth-talking alter ego. Disguised in a tacky suit, weird wig and even weirder fake teeth, Toni barges into Ines' professional life, claiming to be her CEO's life coach. In all the madness, Ines begins to understand that her eccentric father might deserve some place in her life after all. Nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award for Best Foreign Language Film. Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes. Winner of Best European Film at the European Film Awards. "A thrilling act of defiance against the toxicity of doing what is expected, on film, at work and out in the world."--A.O. Scott, The New York Times |
