Hmmm. I think it may be a testament to the skill of Peter Simonischek here that I didn't like this film very much, but in any case - I didn't. His daughter "Ines" (Sandra Hüller) had made a decent life for herself in the corporate world and the two have become largely estranged. He decides to try and rectify this by travelling to Bucharest where she is working with boss/lover "Gerald" (Thomas Loibl). He fancies himself as a bit of a practical joker, does "Winfried" but his attempts at humour merely irritate his daughter as they embarrass her and poke fun at the nature - sometimes the quite rut...
