EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Mortuary assistant Erich is trying to get his daughter Julia on the phone - without success. Attentively, he drives around the small town until he spots Julia and her friends on a girls‘ night out. In order to reestablish a closer relationship with his daughter so as to help her understand the true meaning of life, he asks her out on a father-daughter night and prepares a special present. The film tells the story of a man whose world view, narrow-mindedness and selfishness lead him into a disaster.
