Vater sein dagegen sehr (English: "Being a father however, is hard") is a 1957 West German film directed by Kurt Meisel.
The soft-hearted uncle takes them in, but his fiancée has definite ideas about their future, and they don't include other people's children.
The situation escalates as the child welfare authorities require the niece and nephew to be ready for transfer to an orphanage that evening.
Lutz goes to the parish priest and explains to him his new idea to seek sanctuary in order to make the public aware of his problem.
Sentimental entertainment, tailored to the lead actor Heinz Rühmann, who gives the superficial material some depth.– Encyclopedia of the International film An unrealistic and shallow entertainment movie; the in and of itself sympathetic performance of the lead actor Heinz Rühmann can not provide the missing weight.– Protestant film observers [2]
