action
Wanda is a staunch atheist and feminist and considers herself and her blended family to be very liberal and cosmopolitan. One day her pubescent daughter Nina announced that she had decided to convert to Islam and become a Muslim , live halal and wear a headscarf. In addition, she would like to be called Fatima from now on. Wanda is shocked and falls from the clouds.
On the one hand, she tries to collect as much information as possible about Islam in order to be prepared for the decision of her daughter and on the other hand she does everything possible to dissuade Nina from her plan. Her ex-husband Harald, who is going to be a father again with his new girlfriend Sissy, is not much help. Wanda longs for the time when her daughter's smoking pot and truancy were her only worries.
The overwhelmed Wanda receives unexpected support from Hanife, the mother of Nina's Muslim friend Maryam. Hanife came to Austria with her parents as a child. She wants to protect her own daughter from exactly that old-fashioned image of women that Nina preaches in her zeal for conversion.
At the wedding of Sissy and Harald, Nina confesses to Sissy that she plans to marry a homosexual friend who is forced to marry as a service of friendship and as a statement against homophobia . Nina decides, however, shortly before the wedding not to get married. However, she will not convert back, but demonstrate with her mother, her friend Maryam and her mother Hanife for a feminist Islam. Nina finally reveals to Wanda that her homosexual friend is moving in with them so that he does not have to get married.

reception
Katrin Nussmayr found in the daily newspaper Die Presse that some scenes would be reminiscent of the French comedy Full Veiled (2017). How did we deserve this? I have some of their lightness, even if some things are overly constructed, such as the figure constellation. The film sometimes shows the bigotry and double standards that can be found on all sides of the Islamic debate. Caroline Peters would completely convince and entertain as a horrified mother.
Sascha Westphal found in the Neue Ruhr Zeitung that Islam, with its many precepts, is an easy target for Wanda's attacks. But after seeing in a discussion of the surgical plan that her male colleagues have no problem if patients only want to be operated on by men, all her liberal illusions would vanish into thin air. The funny satire about the splinters in the eye of the other would turn into a bitter comedy about the bar in one's own.
Christian Klosz from filmpluskritik.com praised the film and awarded 9 out of 10 possible points. He also pointed to the topicality of the subject: " How did we deserve this? Illustrates in an entertaining and humorous way the breaking points, irritations, contradictions and limits of the liberal, open and postmodern" multi-cultural "society. That's how it is for them Enlightened mother Wanda does not find it easy to maintain her tolerant attitude in work and private life on the one hand, while on the other hand she fights the daughter, who has suddenly become a Muslim, and her attitudes with all means. "
On ORF , 485,000 people saw the film when it was first broadcast, with a market share of 23 percent.
