PLOT:
Winfried doesn't see much of his working daughter Ines. The suddenly student-less music teacher decides to surprise her with a visit after the death of his old dog. It's an awkward move because serious career woman Ines is working on an important project as a corporate strategist in Bucharest. The geographical change doesn't help the two to see eye to eye. Practical joker Winfried loves to annoy his daughter with corny pranks. What's worse are his little jabs at her routine lifestyle of long meetings, hotel bars and performance reports. Disguised in a tacky suit, weird wig and even weirder fake teeth, "Toni Erdmann" barges into Ines' professional life. As Toni, Winfried is bolder and doesn't hold back, but Ines meets the challenge. The harder they push, the closer they become.We are thrilled to present the film in cooperation with the 8th annual Legacy Film Festival on Aging, San Francisco.
Director: Maren Ade, 162 min., 2016
