SYNOPSIS:
A father’s dysfunctional family life becomes entangled with his problems at work when his son falls in love with
the young upstart who’s stealing his clients in this sexy and funny jaunt.
REVIEW:
Wolf Zenker isn’t having a good week. His new Mercedes has a bad scratch from his garage door, the bathroom needs
to be repaired, his debt is building so much that he has to dip into his son Karsten’s college fund, he’s on the
outs with his wife and a young upstart at work is stealing clients from him left and right. To make matters worse,
his driving delinquency finally catches up to him, and he’s forced to cancel his son’s big trip to Spain so that
poor Karsten can drive his old man around. And the older Zenker doesn’t even know the half of it, because while
he’s trying to get his life right again, his handsome offspring is experiencing first love with none other than
Steve, the very upstart who’s ruining his career.
Mishaps, meddling and surprises abound in this delightful narrative that also boasts a powerful chemistry
between the romantic leads. Their first kiss is marked by a tense, exhilarating set-up, a deliciously sensuous
execution and a jolting, dramatic aftermath.
Alternating between moments of quiet poignancy and madcap hilarity, Fashion Victims delivers an utterly
satisfying movie-going experience.
