Almost all of us are familiar with the need to emulate an ideal image. Mothers, daughters, men, the old and the young are all caught up in a permanent mania for optimisation. WUNDERSCHÖN tells their stories: There is FRAUKE, who no longer finds herself desirable "just before 60". Her daughter JULIE wants to finally make it as a model. This in turn is pursued by schoolgirl LEYLA, who is convinced that she can lead a better life with Julie's looks. Julie's sister-in-law SONJA is also struggling with her body, which is becoming the expression of a life crisis after two pregnancies. Her husband MILAN is not aware of the pressure she puts on herself as a young mother. This, in turn, comes as no great surprise to Sonja's best friend VICKY, who is convinced that women and men do not and will never meet as equals, at least not in love. WUNDERSCHÖN - a film close to life, honest and hopeful.
