Meine Mutter im siebten Himmel

Eifel landlady Toni Janssen has the blues. The unexpected single life is just as depressing as the decline of the "Kupferkanne" without the cooking skills of her "ex". The otherwise tough restaurant owner would prefer to crawl under the comforter all day! But giving up is out of the question for her mother Heidi. The fact that the Janssen women have been making it on their own for generations is their motto in life anyway. The best example: Heidi's newly opened guesthouse, which is often fully booked! It's not just business success that has a rejuvenating effect on the optimistic woman in her mid-fifties. Ron, the gardener hired by the investment-happy business founder, surprises her with his charming advances. What Heidi initially finds hard to believe soon sends her into a frenzy of love.

Directed by —, Meine Mutter im siebten Himmel leans on a strong ensemble — Diana Amft, Margarita Broich, Lucas Prisor — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
