NACKT ÜBER BERLIN, the new series by Axel Ranisch starring Sidney Fahlisch, is a breakneck ride.
Rousingly musical, moving, uncompromising and screamingly funny — that is how we experienced the first episodes at Filmfest München, and we can hardly wait to keep watching — from today in the ARTE Mediathek!
What is it about?
Jannik and Tai are two outsiders who are not taken seriously at their school. To each other they are best friends — or so the good-natured classical-music nerd Jannik, who is secretly in love with Tai, at least hopes. When one night the two of them pick up their blind-drunk headmaster Jens Lamprecht and take him to his flat, they lock him in. A joke, of course. But then Tai refuses to let the headmaster out again. Instead he uses his tech skills to bring Lamprecht's high-tech flat entirely under his control. Jannik realises that Tai blames the headmaster for sharing in the death of his classmate Melanie Heise (SIDNEY FAHLISCH). The more frantic Lamprecht's state becomes, and the clearer Tai's grim delight in it, the greater Jannik's stress between family life, romantic longing and a sense of responsibility. (ARTE)
