About Ein Date fürs Leben
Three years without a man by her side. A pubescent daughter who wants to know how things work with men. And a boss at the Schwarz auction house who desperately wants a Matisse for her next auction. Anna has to use all her resources on the owner, banker Gregor Weller. All of them. It's almost a bit too much for Anna. If it weren't for her colleague Michael, who knows a thing or two about relationships and men's souls.
Directed by Andi Niessner, Ein Date fürs Leben leans on a strong ensemble — Uwe Ochsenknecht, Julia Stinshoff, Hannes Jaenicke — 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 2009.
