Weihnachten mit Willy Wuff III - Mama braucht einen Millionär

Little Kati lives with her mother Anna in a tiny apartment. The two of them are struggling to make ends meet by singing at the Christmas market. When Anna is once again late with the rent, her heartless landlord throws her out just before Christmas. Fortunately, Willy Wuff has heard about their misfortune and rushes to help. He puts them up in the villa of millionaire Jakob, who is on a winter vacation with his mistress. However, when he breaks off the vacation in an argument and returns home, he realizes who has taken up residence in his house. And Kati and her mother mistake the intruder for a burglar. The beginning of a series of amusing mix-ups.

Directed by Maria Theresia Wagner, Weihnachten mit Willy Wuff III - Mama braucht einen Millionär leans on a strong ensemble — Ina Weisse, Stephan Ullrich, Christine Neubauer — 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 family titles of 1997.
