Papa auf Wolke 7

Klemens Kurz is a family man, a successful meteorologist - and autistic. He has Asperger's Syndrome, which means he takes everything literally, is a logic genius and has a special relationship with his emotions. When he was offered an attractive job for a research project in Svalbard in the Arctic, he quickly told his two teenage kids, Nelli and Carlo, that they were going to the far north. And Grandpa Arthur should come along too. No option for the three, a plan has to be found! In order to dissuade Father Klemens from his plan, the teenagers try to find a wife for him by all means of modern online dating. But as a person with a special relationship to his feelings, this is not an easy endeavor.

Directed by Markus Herling, Papa auf Wolke 7 leans on a strong ensemble — Oliver Mommsen, Minh-Khai Phan-Thi, Rieke Seja — 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 2020.
