These are sensitive times. Family man Heinz Hellmich learns this the hard way when, after a few clumsy missteps at work, he faces the threat of losing his job. To prove that he is not an 'old white man,' he invites his boss and several guests to his home for dinner.
Together with his family, he plans to present himself in the best, most modern, and 'wokest' way possible!

The main cast includes Jan Josef Liefers, Nadja Uhl, Friedrich von Thun, Michael Maertens, Meltem Kaptan, Elyas M'Barek, Yun Huang, Denise M'Baye, as well as young actors Momo Beier and Juri Sam Winkler. The film is directed by the multiple award-winning filmmaker Simon Verhoeven (German Film Award, Bavarian Film Award, Ernst Lubitsch Award, Romy Award, Günther Rohrbach Film Award, Peace Prize of German Film - The Bridge), based on his original screenplay. The producers are Quirin Berg and Max Wiedemann, Oscar® winners for The Lives of Others and producers of Wochenendrebellen, Men in the City, Dark, and 4 Blocks, as well as Kirstin Winkler (10,000 B.C., 2012, Anonymous, Girl You Know It's True)."
