Pitter Patter goes my Heart
Directed by Christoph Rainer
The hopelessly romantic Lisa takes desperate measures to win her former lover back. But the fact that he already has a new girl at his side and that Lisa needs to bring her alcoholic father to an anti-varicose-campaign photo shoot without letting him know, is not particularly helpful.
