🎬 Affenkönig

Wolfi (Hans-Jochen Wagner), an hedonistic ex-rocker and self-proclaimed alpha male, invites three of his former high school friends along with their wives and children to his lavish villa in Southern France to celebrate his 45th birthday.

What starts as a nostalgic reunion quickly devolves into an unruly weekend fueled by alcohol, drugs, uninhibited desire, and fragile midlife egos. As Wolfi pushes his guests into wild, boundary-testing situations, buried conflicts, marital crises, and long-standing rivalries erupt among the group of men facing middle age.
