Winfried and his daughter don’t exactly get along. He tries to get closer to her after the death of his old dog and starts visiting her in Bucharest, but if only things could be this simple... Funny, even hilarious at times, original, sensitive and very personal, Toni Erdmann is appealing for all cinema lovers. Maren Ade was very noticed at Sundance in 2005 and won three prizes at the Berlinale in 2009 for her film Everyone Else. Often linked to the Berlin school, in other words some of the most exciting German cinema in recent years, Ade delivers us a film that brilliantly illustrates relations between father and daughter. No less than a month ago the film received a standing ovation at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. Now it is time for Brussels to discover this absolutely brilliant piece of art.
