ZWEIGSTELLE
As if they didn't have enough problems already, Resi and her three friends get into a fatal accident on their trip to the Alps. The clique promptly find themselves in a Bavarian afterlife authority that is to decide their fate. Elysium, purgatory, rebirth - anything seems possible. But when it becomes clear that the group lacks all conviction, the crucial question arises: what the hell happens to someone who believed in NOTHING when they were alive?
With plenty of humor and a keen sense of the absurd, director Julius Grimm's feature film debut sees up-and-coming stars Sarah Mahita, David Ali Rashed, Nhung Hong, Beritan Balci and Julian Gutmann battling the bureaucratic madness of the afterlife. There is celebrity support from Rick Kavanian, Rainer Bock, Luise Kinseher, Maxi Schafroth and many more. The film is accompanied musically by Roy Bianco & Die Abbrunzati Boys.

I think it would be easier to name what wasn't a challenge. Just shooting the movie with such a small budget was enough of a challenge. A good example is the scene in Müller'sches Volksbad: Rainer Bocke is standing on the water, so we had a platform made of Plexiglas to which we had to row him with a rubber dinghy. The whole thing was pretty crazy, because the slightest problem would have jeopardized the day's shooting. What if Rainer had really fallen into the water? We would never have gotten the costume dry in time. What if someone had locked the car keys and equipment in the light sprinter? The latter actually happened. I don't think I've ever gone into a day of filming with so much respect, but in the end we nodded to each other and said "It'll be fine".
