Herzlichen Glückwunsch
The caring housewife and mother Vera is about to turn 50: one more night and then the time has come. Preparations for the planned party are in full swing. Vera's loving husband Werner and her mother Charlotte are already slightly annoyed by the commotion, especially since Vera's best friend Regine constantly interferes in everything. The arrival of Vera and Werner's adult children causes additional excitement. There's Philipp, for example, who gives his overprotective mother a lot of headaches: Not only did he not become a pilot, but "merely" a flight attendant - Philipp is also gay. And he also invited his new friend, the Frenchman Michel. Vera's daughter Christa also presents her mother, as a birthday surprise, so to speak, with her new lover: the likeable black African Mbele. The multicultural family festival is completed by daughter Anna, who brings her cute children and her fun-loving Scandinavian husband Sven. But that's just the beginning of an extremely turbulent birthday celebration. At first, the snobbish Aunt Hildegard causes confusion with her arrogant demeanor. And a little later the mayor is at the door to congratulate Vera on her 85 (!) birthday - and minutes later he is happily celebrating at the coffee table. When the chaos has finally somewhat dissipated and the illustrious guests find peace between cream cake, a cold buffet and filled shot glasses, another uninvited guest arrives in the evening: the urbane Charly, Vera's great childhood love. When he gives Vera and Werner a trip to his house in the USA, Werner is overwhelmed - because Charly knows full well that Werner suffers from a panicked fear of flying. Vera does manage to calm the quarrelsome people down. But when Werner surprises his wife with Charly in a compromising situation, all his fears seem to be confirmed.
