Nächte vor Hochzeiten

Two bachelor parties collide, and the two people who are about to get married fall in love with each other. With only a few days left until their weddings to their respective partners, the countdown is on. Now available in the ARD Mediathek.

“Mely and Paul are planning to marry in a week, each to a different person. It is unfortunate that they meet at this particular moment and fall in love with each other. Is what happens to them in the ARD television film “Nächte vor Hochzeiten” (ARD Degeto / Fandango Film) a coincidence, serendipity, or even fate? Author Sathyan Ramesh has chosen a seemingly completely unrealistic “what if” scenario as his starting point to shed light on an eternally fascinating phenomenon: How does love arise? Under the sensitive direction of Ingo Rasper, a worldly-wise, captivating drama has been created that seriously addresses both the good fortune of an extraordinary love and the tragic moments of separation. The fact that this romantic story of destiny captivates for 90 minutes is largely thanks to Seyneb Saleh and Anton Spieker. Both are the perfect objects of identification for their roles. This guarantees compassion, and the hope for a happy ending—especially in the final stretch—is more exciting than any thriller.” (Rainer Tittelbach)
