Toni Erdmann is a remarkably touching and outrageously funny portrait of a father-daughter relationship. Ines is a highly-strung career woman whose life in corporate Bucharest takes a turn for the bizarre with the arrival of her estranged father Winfried. A practical joker with a liking for silly disguises and childish pranks, Winfried attempts to reconnect with his daughter by introducing the eccentric alter ego Toni Erdmann to catch Ines off guard, not knowing how capable she is of rising to the challenge.

German comedy written and directed by Maren Ade. In an attempt to reconnect with his career-driven daughter Ines (Sandra Hüller), divorced music teacher Winfried Conradi (Peter Simonischek) decides to visit her in Bucharest, where she works as a business consultant. Worried Ines is unhappy with her hectic lifestyle, Winfried takes it upon himself to dress up as his practical joke-loving alter ego 'Toni Erdmann' and integrate himself into her work circles as a way of cheering her up. Although Ines is initially mortified by her father's actions, the pair's mutual disdain for each other's behaviour begins to show signs of healing their fractured relationship. The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
