action
Lars and Annette want to get married. They invite their parents to a weekend to get to know each other and use this opportunity to announce their plan. The parents - Annette's father Hermann is an arch-conservative officer, Ruth, Lars' mother a lesbian psychoanalyst from 1968 - collide.
Lars and Annette try everything to make a good impression on their future in-laws, putting themselves under enormous pressure. The first evening went smoothly with irritations and embarrassments. But on the second day the surprise reception at Hermann's old fraternity turns into a disaster due to Ruth's appearance. The total incompatibility of the two pairs of parents is only the minor problem. But in the stress of this weekend, Annette and Lars in particular get to know each other better. Also from its darker side.
When at the end of the weekend her apartment and the officer's convertible were destroyed by water damage, Lars seems impotent and the suspicion that Annette is a lesbian cannot be rid of, while Annette must think Lars is a liar and has made herself a drug procurer in order to To score points with Lars' mother, her plan seems to be in need of revision: Both still wanted to get married on Friday. They break up on Sunday.
And only now, when it suddenly doesn't matter what impression you make on future in-laws, when you've finally freed yourself from the expectations of your own parents and no longer has to contort yourself, is all of a sudden for Lars and Annette again the way free to find each other.
