Synopsis
Family Affairs (Der Nachname, 2022) is a German comedy from director Sönke Wortmann that you can watch online on iFILM. The sequel gathers the same razor-tongued family for a weekend getaway, this time at a remote vineyard finca on Lanzarote.
Things sour fast. A suitcase vanishes at the airport, and matriarch Dorothea has dragged everyone out to the middle of nowhere to drop a bombshell. The jokes they crack in the car turn out to be real: she has quietly married her own stepson, taken his surname, and now wants a baby with him. One long evening peels back buried grudges and fresh secrets over plenty of wine. Iris Berben, Christoph Maria Herbst, Florian David Fitz and Caroline Peters lead the ensemble.
It's a chamber piece built almost entirely from dialogue and rising tempers, closer to a filmed play than a vacation comedy. Good for anyone who enjoys vicious dinner-table arguments in the vein of Carnage. Stream Family Affairs (2022) online on iFILM.
