Eine Hochzeit und (K)ein Todesfall

The story follows junior architect Stefan, who is overwhelmed by wedding preparations and becomes convinced he is gravely ill. With just two weeks until his marriage to Anne, his hypochondria spirals out of control. The situation intensifies when he mistakenly believes he is dying after overhearing a call from the family doctor, prompting a desperate search for a substitute husband for his fiancée.

Filled with quirky characters, including a chauffeur, a mother-in-law, and a best friend, the film tackles themes such as friendship, love, and the pressures of marriage. Its humor is underscored by elements like tarot cards and palm reading, adding a unique twist to the narrative. This film is a reflection of early 2000s German comedy and its approach to relationships and personal anxieties.
