Berlin, the Prenzlauer Berg district. Daniel is a movie star accustomed to success. His loft apartment is stylish and so is his wife, and the nanny has the children under control. Everything is tip-top, bilingual and ready for him to jet off to an audition in London where a role in an American superhero film awaits the celebrated German-Spanish actor. Popping into the local bar on the corner, he finds Bruno sitting there. As transpires by the minute, Bruno has been waiting for this moment for a long time. And so this eternally overlooked man – one of reunification's losers and a victim of the gentrification of what was once East Berlin – takes his revenge. With Daniel as his target...
A chamber piece set in a single Berlin corner bar: two men and one conversation that slowly tips over. It runs on dialogue and sharp humour, and on the discomfort when small talk turns serious. It is funny and biting at once, and it is about gentrification, East and West, and who gets noticed in this city.
Good for you if you like talky, ironic Berlin films that get by with a few characters and a single location.
