Winfried is a retired music teacher and father with a great sense of humor. After the death of his dog, Winfried decides to try and reach out to his long lost and successful, yet egocentric daughter. He does so by creating an outrageous alter ego and posing as her CEO's life coach.
Toni Erdmann is the funniest and weirdest prankster you will ever see and challenges the notion of Germans not having any humor.
