About Männer und andere Katastrophen
The somewhat awkward student Judith is pursued by bankruptcies, bad luck and mishaps. The failed baby sitting with her sister Rebecca ends with a ruined apartment and the destroyed paintings of her father. In addition, she also loses her job and her friend Holger. In this chaos, she does not notice that the charming neighbor Leo is madly in love with her. But Leo proves to be a true guardian angel and brings a desperate Judith a fairytale surprise. - Heike Makatsch and Dominic Raacke play the leading roles in this enchanting and sensitive love comedy about a modern Cinderella.
Directed by Ulli Baumann, Männer und andere Katastrophen leans on a strong ensemble — Heike Makatsch, Dominic Raacke, Ulrike Folkerts — 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 tv movie titles of 1999.
