Following DER VORNAME and DER NACHNAME, DER SPITZNAME celebrates its premiere at the ZFF: 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. Director Sönke Wortmann has created an exquisite zeitgeist comedy with brilliant dialogue and a lot of great jokes. The German ensemble with Iris Berben, Christoph Maria Herbst, Janina Uhse and Florian David Fitz proves they are in the best of moods to perform. Intelligent entertainment with its finger on the pulse of the time.
