Meine Tochter und der Millionär (2009)

Hannes Schmitz works as a garbage collector in Hamburg. The ex-soccer player now coaches the youth team of a suburban club. His sayings are just as feared as his unconventional ideas in labor disputes. Hannes lives on a houseboat that he restored himself and has a well-balanced relationship with his likeable long-term fiancé Isolde. His pride and joy is his pretty and clever daughter Annika, whom he raised alone. He would do anything for her. He even slips into an uncomfortable suit and tie and has himself chauffeured to Hamburg-Blankenese. In the small family circle, Hannes is supposed to get to know his future son-in-law, the young chef Alexander. Annika is amazed when she is received with her father in a grand villa. The contemplative family celebration turns out to be an elegant cocktail party for high society - and Alexander the heir to a hotel chain worth millions. His mother Verena von Wrede, head of a global corporation, is not enthusiastic. Father Moritz watches the embarrassing spectacle with an amused smile. Annika is outraged that Alexander has fooled her. When he tries to dispel her misgivings about the difference in social status - after all, nobody needs to know that she is the daughter of a garbage man - Annika feels even more humiliated and takes off with her father. Hannes is initially proud of his daughter, who has shown so much backbone. However, when he realizes that she and Alexander actually love each other, he takes matters into his own hands - in his own way.
