Ein Hauptgewinn für Papa (2006)

The astrophysicist Peter Grainernapp unexpectedly wins a fire-red luxury convertible, but as a result the likeable scientist and single father not only has more horsepower, but also more problems: the media, his neighbors and lots of people pounce on the supposedly lucky and winning guy. Xenia Teschmacher, the mayor's sophisticated advisor, wraps Peter around her finger and uses him for her PR purposes. Things get too much for Peter, and so he neglects his children and especially his nice colleague Anja Lohse, with whom he is head over heels in love. When he then sells the patent for the revolutionary telescope that he developed together with Anja to shady investors, he has apparently run his life against the wall. Eventually it dawns on him that he would be happier with a few horsepower less.
