Ödipussi
Paul Winkelmann is the CEO of a successful business in Hamburg that he took over after the death of his father eight years ago. But he is still strongly dominated by his 78 year old mother who cares for him as a child, and who cannot understand why he took an apartment on his own after all these years. The real "problem" starts when Paul gets to know psychologist Margarethe Tietze whose relationship to her parents is also not so easy after all.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Loriot constructs his comedy on the absurdity of overprotection, creating grotesque yet familiar scenarios. He relies on sharp psychological observation, exploring how family roles can persist for decades, locking adults in a state of perpetual childhood.
Those who tire of slapstick will appreciate this witty satire on separation, where every maternal gesture is a masterpiece of comic control. What lingers after the credits is a slightly uncomfortable recognition of our own familial quirks. — MovieFinder Editorial
