Hans & Anna, long-term lovers in their thirties, suddenly have a strong need to break out of their routines. Each embarks on a refreshing adventure of bodies, food and love.“ ”
"Kaiser gives a fresh take on old tropes and aptly leaves no detail untouched."
AFTER ELLEN
Synopsis
A long-term couple in their sleepy thirties. ANNA and HANS belong together; so much so all their friends simply call them the HANNAS. A new life begins, when they meet two sisters with ADHD, Kim and Nicola. Inevitably they become emotionally entangled and end up putting themselves through the wringer: A humorous story about couples, bodies, food and love in your thirties.
HANS and ANNA are THE HANNAS: a 15 year relationship of cooking, eating and traditional holidays at the Baltic Sea, where they go without fail, every single year.
There's no question that they love each other, but what happened to their life? They need something new, a way out of their daily rut. Anna starts swimming and seeing a psychologist, Hans goes training in the woods. But Can new pursuits and professional intervention really help them feel alive?
When two sisters with ADHD, Kim and Nicola, appear an absurd journey into a new life begins. While Anna and Nicola embark on a romantic affair, Hans and Kim have a rather more unconventional arrangement...
