My Old Man

For more than 40 years, Rudy gave everything to the company, was constantly on business trips, carried a lot of responsibility and tried to be a good husband and father at the same time. And then suddenly the moment he was looking forward to is here, and now it changes everything: Retirement brings the busy man to a standstill and the cards are reshuffled. It's no wonder that the director gets very close to his protagonist; after all, it's his own father. In this way, a cinematic family constellation with little spite and a lot of humor emerges.
