Mann kann, Frau erst recht

When Tina discovers her current boyfriend, Frank, has been cheating on her, she rewrites his text to a competition in a male magazine as a story about his small penis. When the story wins, Tina dresses as a man to collect the prize as Frank Schmidt. She is instead offered a job at the magazine and has to deal with pretending to be a man as well as her developing feelings for the chief editor, Moritz.

Directed by Florian Gärtner, Mann kann, Frau erst recht leans on a strong ensemble — Theresa Scholze, Tom Wlaschiha, Nina Kronjäger — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2012.
