Kokowääh

Kokowääh (2011) is a German romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Til Schweiger directs and stars as Henry, a screenwriter stuck in a creative rut who is also quietly pining for his ex, Katarina. His life has a certain aimless bachelor rhythm — until an eight-year-old girl named Magdalena turns up at his door.

Her mother drops her off and disappears. Henry had no idea the child existed. Now he does — and he is her father. The role of Magdalena went to Schweiger's real daughter Emma, which gives their scenes together an easy naturalness that scripted kid performances rarely manage.

The film earned over three million admissions in German cinemas, making it one of the bigger local comedy hits of that year. It works because Schweiger plays Henry as genuinely unprepared rather than charming his way through fatherhood from minute one. Stream Kokowääh (2011) online on iFILM.
