Patrick’s father is in hospital after 2 heart attacks, the family’s farm will soon be lost and Patrick’s wife, Nadine and their 2 children are desperate. By accident, Patrick finds 130 kilograms of cocaine in the supermarket and decides to keep the cocaine and sell it. In order to wash the black money, he founds a new church with his friend Bernd. Bernd is 60, used to be a criminal until he found Jesus. The church quickly became extremely popular because of its liberal and progressive attitude and financial generosity. In the end, the church is so popular that Patrick and Bernd open up other churches in and around Berlin.

Nevertheless, selling cocaine is getting better and Patrick meets Linda, who works for Deutsche Bank as a communications analyst.

Patrick also sells the cocaine with his best friend Florian. Florian will change the most over the first season. He has always been explosive and spontaneous, and he quickly loses control through drug use and quick money. In the final Patrick has to decide what happens to Florian.

Patrick starts a political career parallel to the drug and church career. He decides to become mayor in the small town.

“Listen to the truth, whoever speaks it”.

This sentence can be seen on the wall of the Academy of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Filmmaker Felix Schaefer was intrigued to find out if people really want to listen to the truth. So, he interviewed 30 people and asked them to tell a truth that they would never tell their partner. He used those sentences to create a dance film, with the dramatisation of the sentences being shown in physical interpretations.

Matched

Indie Comedy about Online Dating

‘Matched” takes place at one bar, showing 16 different first dates from 16 different nights. The entire film is a compilation of these very diverse dates, which are intercut for the final feature film. The characters are all completely different and vary in age, culture, background, life philosophies and personalities. Some dates are extremely comedic, whilst some are very romantic, and others even sad or dramatic. The film shows a huge variety, and the audience can experience true love just as much as cringe worthy conversations. Some dates don’t even last a minute, whilst other dates last an entire night.
