action

Astrid Seibels was left by her husband Robert because of a younger woman. So she looks after her two daughters Imke and Luzie alone and has little help from Robert. He usually doesn't even pay the maintenance on time and would like to stop it entirely. Unfortunately, Astrid also loses her job and simply decides to fill out a lottery ticket. She is successful because she has six numbers and is three times a millionaire. But her friend stupidly lost the ticket and since there is no name on it, Astrid has little chance of being able to redeem her winnings. Little does she know that the man of all people found the lottery ticket she just fell in love with. But even Felix doesn't know that he owes his financial luck to Astrid. With the profit he could not only avert the foreclosure auction of his house, but also finally buy a fancy new car. Since a friend advises him not to tell his new lover about his happiness, because that would only unnecessarily impair the relationship, he does not tell her about being the lottery winner. However, when he learns of Astrid's lost appearance, he gets into a conflict of conscience. His friend, however, says that in his financial situation he cannot afford to be a good person.

Astrid's ex-husband knows his wife's lucky numbers and now believes he is also the lottery winner, as her divorce contract was not yet signed on the day she won. At first he does not want to believe that the bill has been lost. Robert tries to find out through his daughters whether Astrid is really telling the truth. When these leave no doubt, he uses his contacts to find out who has redeemed the lucky ticket. He succeeds and he immediately informs Astrid that Felix of all people now has her money. She is devastated and never wants to see Felix again. Since he last had the note in his possession, there is no legal action against him. But he's not as bad as she thinks Felix is. His conscience plagues him too and he simply puts the suitcase with the winnings at Astrid's feet, who no longer wants to know anything about him. Her children immediately play Monopoly with real money, but Astrid is not really interested in any of that. She mourns after her lost love and it does not comfort her that she is suddenly spoiled by Robert and that he pretends to be still in love with her. But Astrid immediately notices where the wind is blowing from and rejects the offer of reconciliation.

Felix has decided not to wait until his villa is foreclosed, but wants to move to Berlin with his son. To inform Astrid of this, he drives to her again. It tells you how sorry he is doing all this, and he wished that the had worked with them. It would have been the best that would have happened to him in a long time. When he said goodbye to his property one last time, Astrid suddenly stood in front of him with her daughters and he learned that she had bought his villa at auction. Without much explanation, she asks Felix how they would like to paint their bedroom.

criticism

Tilmann P. Gangloff evaluates for Kino.de and wrote: “Mariele Millowitsch shines once again in the role of the brave woman who does not let fate get her down and defiantly lives her motto, which her actress has also adopted: 'If the roof collapses over me, I can see the stars'. However, various lines of dialogue in the style of 'Girl Friends' and 'Nikola' ensure that the basic mood of the story does not become gloomy. Director Dirk Regel gives Millowitsch and Nemec a lot of space and, with a few wordlessly staged passages, provides some very pretty romantic highlights. "
