Andrea Gets a Divorce
Tragicomic shenanigans ensue when a police woman, who is yearning for promotion, finds herself faced with a moral quandary after she accidentally kills her drunk husband in a hit-and-run.
Countryside cop Andrea (Birgit Minichmayr) thinks her life’s on the up, with a prospect of promotion to a bigger town where she can leave her old life and failed marriage behind her. But her future is thrown into jeopardy when she accidentally runs over her soon-to-be-ex, Andy (Thomas Stipsits), and flees the scene. After a local recovering alcoholic (played by writer/director Josef Hader) confesses to the crime, Andrea finds herself in an increasing moral quandary about the consequences. Hader highlights the absurdities of rural life while offering a character study that generates laughs as well as moving moments. A tragicomic tour-de-force.
