Germany's big clans

The Joop story

Wolfgang Joop and his daughter Jette are among Germany's most important designers.
Both regularly make the headlines.
Wolfgang: the eternal boy, the "wunderkind", the fashion genius, the artist.
No matter what he does, he fascinates and polarizes in equal measure.
Jette carries her name to market with business acumen and clever calculation.
She makes millions with her designs, whether with jewelry, fashion or simply household goods.
On the red carpet, she stages herself as a femme fatale to strengthen her brand.
"Publicity is my destiny," she says.

Father and daughter - two strong characters who constantly rub up against each other.
But they are united by their creativity and the daring to constantly reinvent themselves.
The future will show whether the Joops will remain a design dynasty, whether it will continue in the third generation - and whether father and daughter can finally make peace.

In addition to Joop himself and renowned experts, the film also features companions who rarely give an insight into the life of the designer family, such as Wolfgang's husband Edwin Lemberg or his ex-wife Karin Joop-Metz.
