Our take

Who hasn’t yet been approached by a marketing agency? Best known as a comedian and character actor, Olli Dittrich plays Thomas Müller, a typically middle-of-the-road citizen who is approached by a market research group in this darkly cynical comedy. A charming first feature from David Dietl.
