TV Broadcasting in March 2020 on ARTE
Ursula, the bride’s mother and her sister Hilde are late and climbing the
staircase of the town hall to reach the rooms where the wedding ceremony will take
place. Earlier, Ursula had stolen the wedding rings as she didn’t trust anyone else to
keep them safe, and because she wanted to ensure that her daughter’s wedding
would be perfect. On the town hall’s steps Ursula demonstratively puts both rings on
her ring finger while she tries to convince her sceptical sister that the bride and
groom are a match made in heaven. Suddenly, the rings are stuck on Ursula’s finger
and the panicking best man, Walter, rushes out of the ceremony, followed by his
wife, Claire. Walter is desperately searching for the rings. A conflict arises in which
insults and animosities between all parties escalate - chaos is inevitable.
