Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When Anna and Thomas invite their eccentric family to the Tyrolean Alps for their wedding, tensions rise as secrets, unresolved issues, and chaotic family dynamics threaten to derail the big day. From unexpected careers to overprotective parenting, nothing is as it seems, and the planned wedding is far from guaranteed.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
