Frauen, die Prosecco trinken

The star reporter of a Berlin lifestyle magazine announces job and apartment to go with the married advertising boss of their newspaper to Paris, where a dream career as an editor of a prestigious fashion store awaits them. But when the lover lets the pregnant woman sit, who then neither gets the job in Paris nor can return to her old editorial office, the homeless career woman suddenly finds herself in the black.

Directed by Ulrich König, Frauen, die Prosecco trinken leans on a strong ensemble — Tina Ruland, Hardy Krüger Jr., Helmut Zierl — 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 2001.
