About Frau Pfarrer & Herr Priester
Rieke Schmidt is the pastor of the Protestant congregation of Nazareth Church in Munich-Bogenhausen. The unconventional minister is fully absorbed in her job, which is especially hard on her 19-year-old daughter Leonie. She has traveled to Munich from Helsinki during the short semester break to spend some time with her mother, but once again she has her hands full. Especially as she has a new colleague, priest Toni Seidl, whose charm is causing her a lot of turmoil. She also has to take care of the many worries in her parish, especially her best friend Petra Keller, whose daughter Jessica, Rieke's godchild, has leukemia...
Directed by Sebastian Sorger, Frau Pfarrer & Herr Priester leans on a strong ensemble — Birge Schade, Martin Gruber, Erwin Steinhauer — 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 comedy titles of 2016.
