ORF-E
German
1 x 90 min

Two mothers, Balbina and Inka, are convinced that they have raised their daughter Hedwig in the best possible way. She is the product of a deep love and artificial insemination. Hedwig has always been the politically correct model child, but now something is changing. A man appears, and the family’s apparently perfect life begins to develop cracks as Hedwig experiences a strong male influence for the first time. When Hedwig introduces her new partner to her family and announces their plans to marry, emotional fireworks go off. A family friend attempts to calm things down, but the situation escalates when Hedwig’s partner’s family also reacts to the impending nuptials.

The chaos is compounded when the question of Hedwig’s biological father arises…
