Hi, 

I'm hoping someone in this comm might be able to help me?   Several years ago I saw a movie (am 98% it was German).   I can't remember the title for the life of me, but the plot was:

Man has a history of being fairly crap to women.
Man dies.
Man is given 3 days to find a woman who loves him or he's going to hell.
Man is 'assisted' in this search by his sardonic mother-in-law, who has been reincarnated as a goose (go figure!)
Man has no luck with the women from his past, including his wayward daughter (who seems to be on the verge of becoming a prostitute?).  They all hate him.
Man encounters a quiet, lonely woman (I think she's a vet?  She certainly is involved with animals), and bullies her into helping him.   Over the days she falls in love with him, but he is horrible to her. 
She goes off to commit suicide, but at the last moment he stops her.
Cue the lovely, happy ending for man, woman, daughter and goose.


If anyone has any vague idea of the title of this film, I'd be much appreciated.  I would love to track this down to see if it was as hilarious as I remember (despite the freaky plot it was definitely a comedy).

Thanks in advance.

Link TV -- carried by satcasters Dish Network and DirecTV -- has tapped Tribeca Film Fest exec director Peter Scarlet to host an upcoming skein focusing on world cinema, dubbed "Cinemondo."

Launching this month and running through November, Scarlet's series will feature 11 pics from around the globe, including Theo van Gogh's "May 6th," Hany Abu-Assad's "Rana's Wedding," Asghar Farhadi's "Beautiful City," Pjer Zalica's "Fuse" and Li Shaohong's "Stolen Life."

Series is the brainchild of Link TV director of music and cultural programming Steven Lawrence, in reaction to aud research suggesting Link viewers want more foreign film fare.

"Every year there are dozens of incredibly moving films made beyond our borders that get little or no exposure in the U.S.," Lawrence said. "Theatrical distributors and cable networks pick up only a tiny number of foreign films because they don't think they can make money on them, and as a result Americans are deprived."

Link's advisory board includes helmer Michael Apted and Danny Glover.

Koch Lorber Films is set to roll out two films in the series via homevid: "May 6th" and Constantine Giannaris' "Hostage."
