About Vater werden ist nicht schwer
Senior teacher Frank Fauster actually has every reason to be happy: he has a responsible job as a high school principal, a nice house with a garden, an understanding wife and a bright son. Nevertheless, he is plagued by the first symptoms of a mid-life crisis. His marriage to Elisabeth is on the rocks and he doesn't get on too well with his son Noah.
Directed by René Heisig, Vater werden ist nicht schwer leans on a strong ensemble — Heinz Baumann, August Zirner, Eva Kryll — 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 2004.
