About Lebe dein Leben
The talented young entrepreneur Finn Sieveking has to cope with the death of his mother Maria, who was always at his side in the management of the traditional Hamburg family business. Out of nowhere the adventurer Jonathan Clark appears, who introduces himself as his biological father. Finn has to cooperate with him unwillingly, because Maria has bequeathed both of them half of their business shares. Only gradually does Finn begin to understand what his clever mother intended.
Directed by Peter Sämann, Lebe dein Leben leans on a strong ensemble — Wayne Carpendale, Howard Carpendale, Heidelinde Weis — 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 2012.
