You don't always have to have young people falling in love for a romantic comedy. You can do that through all age groups, with different backgrounds. Though this still feeds into many stereotypes (even though it makes fun of them from time to time, as the view of the woman, while still having that "Macho" man image throughout, even with little crackles here and there).

The acting is fine, the script not that much. It's not bad and the actors can handle it, but we have more than a few bumps along the ride. The outcome is clear from the get go, though I do have to say I did like the last picture/frame the movie chose ... even if a bit clichéd ...

Iris Berben,microbiologist, Louise, is fired, because her boss is having an affair with a co worker who hates her. She is 60 and has worked for 40 years. She meets Frans in the park where he needs her help to get up. She takes him to the doctor's office. She searches out a sperm donor for her frozen eggs. Bjorn von der Wellen, Max, is perfect, but he is Frans' son. There is a gallery showing of a man in a swing. The owner is gay, but Frans is not. Edgar Selge loves the gallery installer, Jordis Richter, but she sees him as a friend. Louise's mom, Carmen Antoni, is fun and looking to spend more time with her daughter. Pacing is perfect. Sigrid Hoerner has a top film.

I liked this movie. The two principal characters are youngish seniors trying to find themselves, and they finally succeed. Although this is the first time I have seen her in a movie, think Iris Berben is a beautiful and classy actress.
