Andrea is a cop in rural Austria and she wants out of her empty marriage. At a raucous party, Andrea confronts her drunken husband, takes his car keys away and makes him walk home. However, walking home on a dark country road drunk also carries its own hazards. In an unlikely turn of events, Andrea unwittingly rids herself of her husband and gets stuck in a very complicated lie.

Hoping to turn a page, Andrea accepts a promotion and transfer to town. Nonetheless, she is stuck with her conscience and plagued by guilt. With writer/director Josef Hader as Franz, Andrea Gets a Divorce is an ill-fated tale that courses between full-out laughs and unexpected tragedy.
