We kick off our new KINOABEND series with a hilarious comedy and the return of Sandra Hüller to Germany after her tremendous success in Hollywood - ZWEI ZU EINS / TWO TO ONE

Originally planned to be screened as the opener of the European Film Festival of Atlanta (EFFA) in May, we are happy to screen this smart comedy as the first movie in our KINOABEND series now.
ZWEI ZU EINS is also the first of four KINOABEND movies under the headline "Der Traum vom schnellen Geld" / "The dream of fast money".

ZWEI ZU EINS is a larger-than-life comedy about love and friendship, about money and justice with the Oscar-nominated actress Sandra Hüller and Max Riemelt and Ronald Zehrfeld.

The film is an ode to a time in German history when anything and everything seemed possible.

Halberstadt during the summer of 1990. Maren (Sandra Hüller), Robert (Max Riemelt) und Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld) have known and loved each other since their childhood days. Pure chance lets them come across a storage facility with Billions of now outdated East German currency - left there to rot. The three friends smuggle backpacks full of money out, and together with friends and neighbors they develop a plan - a system - to turn the worthless money into household items and other valuables which they use to trick the encroaching capitalism and West-Germans that come with it.

Director Natja Brunckhorst based her summer comedy on true events: After the fall of the Berlin Wall and shortly before the German reunification, millions of East German marks were stored in underground bunkers near Halberstadt, a small city in the former GDR. In total, nearly 400 tons of paper money were hidden away during the transition to a unified German currency. It is a fact that some of this money was stolen, though to this day, no one knows how much.
