And who takes the dog?

The classic: Georg (Ulrich Tukur) gives his marriage to Doris (Martina Gedeck) the death blow when he begins an affair with his doctoral student Laura (Lucie Heinze). Until then, Doris and Georg were seen as the spitting image of a happy middle-class couple in Hamburg. Now - after more than a quarter of a century of marriage - they are faced with the shambles of their relationship, with two children, a house and a dog. But you don't just want to rage, you also want to understand something. That's common sense talking. So the two decide - quite civilly - to undergo separation therapy. War of the Roses light? Far from it! Because soon the heart takes over in this minefield of vulnerabilities... Hardly anyone can make a marriage fail more beautifully than the two exceptional actors Martina Gedeck (BELLA MARTHA, DIE WAND) and Ulrich Tukur (DAS WEISSE BAND, JOHN RABE). After the award-winning drama GLEISSENDES GLÜCK (2016), Rainer Kaufmann (EIN FLIEHENDES PFERD) reunites the two as a couple in an extraordinary love story in front of the camera. Lucie Heinze, Angelika Thomas, Marcel Hensema, Julika Jenkins and Peter Jordan play alongside them. Martin Rauhaus (FAMILIENFEST) is responsible for the script of the divorce comedy. Klaus Eichhammer (EIN FLIEHENDES PFERD) was responsible for the visual design. UND WER NIMMT DEN HUND? is a Relevant Film production by producer Heike Wiehle-Timm, commissioned by ARD Degeto, distributed by Majestic.
