Robert Zimmermann wundert sich über die Liebe (2008)

Twenty-six-year-old Robert Zimmermann works as a game designer at a trendy but chaotic game studio in Hamburg. He lives in a shared flat and is dating his colleague Lorna. He thinks he has his life under control until one day a colleague accidentally splashes ketchup on him at a snack stand, and he meets Monika, a single mother twenty years his senior who works at the dry cleaner’s. For him, it is love at first sight, and he is determined to win her heart. But that proves difficult—not least because of the age and cultural gap, as well as resistance from Monika’s teenage son. Meanwhile, things are also falling apart in Robert’s family: his father is going through a crisis and leaves his mother for a younger woman, while his lesbian sister is pregnant, much to the displeasure of her life partner. To top it all off, a film about Konrad Adenauer is being shot at the family home. Robert’s company is also about to present a first-person shooter to an important Chinese client, and Robert still has to make a major change to it. After some back and forth, the family pulls together, and in the end Robert and Monika find their way to each other too.
