Unser Pappa - Herzenswätze is a German television film by Ilse Hofmann from 2004. It is the last film in the trilogy Unser Pappa .
action
The retired dentist Achim Hagenau and father of six adult children, recently married his court neighbor Bärbel Ramsbächle. After he retired to the Black Forest to breed the endangered Hinterwald cattle , he discovered that he is obviously a family man and so four of his children now live in the immediate vicinity of his farm. Now there are also two baptisms to be celebrated and Bärbel is a little sad not to have a child with Achim.
Five years have passed, and son Boris, who works on Achim's farm, has more offspring announced. His wife urges him to let the farm take over completely. Achim is not enthusiastic about this and tries to "drum up" his children for a conversation. He has just found out that his Bärbel has secretly planned to move to Stuttgart because she fears for the health of her husband, who is not enjoying retirement at all and is still far too active. He took two large Rottweilers from an old lady in the village who had to move to a nursing home. In itself, she wanted Lotte and Leo to be put to sleep so that they don't have to go to the animal shelter or even be separated and he should take care of it. But Achim can't do it and keeps the two of them with him. In the process, he made the decision to set up a sanctuary even on Barbel's old farm . This is intensified when he learns that his unscrupulous brother-in-law is organizing animal transports abroad and buying cattle what he can get. Boris even wanted to sell his pot-bellied pig, the donkey and both of his backwoods to him, as they only eat and are of no use to the farm, on which he and his family have to live. But son Arnulf also worries Achim. He is cheating on his wife, who was on a short vacation with her daughter. Daughter Anna, on the other hand, has no plan for her own family. Both are strictly against their father squandering their mother's inheritance for his "spinning". He can only build on Achim junior. He understands his father's decision, defends it against his siblings and helps him move the first animals: donkey, pot-bellied pig and hillbilly. Wife Bärbel is initially not enthusiastic about the new plans, because she knows about her husband's heart problems, which he tries to hide from her. But a visit to the doctor lets these worries fly away, as Achim's stress-related dropouts can be resolved with a little more rest, walks and a little weight loss. So relieved they both go to the realization of the Gandenhof and Achim is already looking after the next "boarding guests" when the showman Axel Schäppge wants to sell his riding ponies to Barbel's brother. He gets drunk out of anger about the lost business and has a fatal accident in his car during the night.
Achim has to realize that his health is worse than he wanted to admit. He collapses at the wheel of his car. His children come to their senses and make up with their father, who can still greet his youngest granddaughter in the hospital, who he thinks already looks like a dental assistant.

Reviews
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv thinks that even if the director “refrains from using artificial tension, [...] one has to look into this undramatic narrative flow, which rather meanders with the rhythm of life. Glances, long, intense scenes and the game between man and landscape are the formal approaches to this family story, which does not want to be more dramatic or tragic than comparable stories from real life.
