624 – The Descendants [The Descendants - Familie und andere Angelegenheiten]



Comedy, Drama (USA — 2011)

Matt King is a Hawaii real-estate attorney with a propensity for unflattering shirts and ill-fitting trousers. When Matt's wife, Elizabeth, ends up in a coma after a water-skiing accident, Matt must learn to balance the parenting of his resentful daughters with the sale of a pristine plot of Kauai land that stands to make the King cousins a fortune. As Elizabeth's condition worsens, Matt contacts friends and relatives, like her fiercely protective father, so that they'll have the chance to say goodbye. In the process, he finds out she was having an affair with realtor Brian Speer, so he and the girls, including Alex's hilariously mellow friend, Sid, go on an island-hopping trip, ostensibly to add Brian to the mix, but Matt really wants to find out what his wife saw in the guy.
