Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster! Produced by the exceptional ZDF, "Family ain't" is set to hit the small screens this Monday, June 2nd, at 8:15 PM. This quirky tragicomedy revolves around a fiercely independent loner, Anne, played by the renowned Meret Becker, and her unexpected encounter with her granddaughter, Tilda, portrayed by the promising young talent, Luise Landau.
Poor Anne, living alone on her Brandenburg farm, has quite the colorful interactions with the world. She unleashes her shotgun at the postman, dismisses new pastors, and gallops her black plow horse to the pharmacy. But, when her daughter Julia lands behind bars, Anne finds herself with Tilda, hoping to quickly unload the precocious child.
However, young Tilda seems to match Anne's stubborn spirit, and the two gradually form a bond, sharing the farm duties and a bed, marking Anne's slow emergence from her self-imposed isolation. The intricate relationship between the three generations of women, their egos, vulnerabilities, and the long-overdue reconciliation form the narrative spine of the film.
