Synopsis

Soraya (Neda Rahmanian) and André Faber (Matthias Koeberlin) are concerned about their 16-year-old daughter Mila (Hannah Schiller), whom they believe is being negatively influenced by her boyfriend Leon (Paul Sundheim). To address the situation, they invite Leon's parents, Viktor (Maximilian Grill) and Monika Popow (Josefine Preuss), to their modern, architect-designed home for dinner. While the affluent Fabers dress in a tasteful and understated manner, Viktor and Monika, a cashier, arrive on motorbikes in a confrontational and provocative style. The evening quickly spirals into an intense and unpredictable sequence of events, marked by escalating tensions and the increasingly unrestrained behavior of the parents.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
