Overview
When Graz lawyer Brigitte learns that her only daughter Anna-Lena not only wants to marry a man decades her senior, but that he also turns out to be Brigitte's childhood sweetheart, Austropop rock star Richie, she wants to prevent the wedding at all costs. Together with Richie's son Michael, she concocts a plan for Michael to steal his own father's wife. But Michael is anything but Anna-Lena's dream man. An amusing Graz city comedy with a first-class cast.
