About Neue Chance zum Glück
Occupation, children and marriage - everything is right with Merrit. But on the day when she wants to go on vacation with the family and her best friend Bea, she learns that her father has suffered a heart attack. Instead of going to Italy she drives to the Eifel. The father is the circumstances, but with her idiosyncratic mother Iris Merrit gets back together again. And then suddenly her husband Immo and the children are standing in front of the castle gate. Her daughter Jule is completely disturbed - she has caught her father in bed with Bea.
Directed by Donald Kraemer, Neue Chance zum Glück leans on a strong ensemble — Sonsee Neu, Jutta Speidel, Reiner Schöne — 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 2011.
