Joachim (Bruno Alexander) is unexpectedly accepted into the prestigious acting school in Munich and moves into his grandparents’ stately villa. There, he experiences a daily life full of curious rituals, shaped by the charming eccentricity and alcohol-fueled habits of his grandmother (Senta Berger) and grandfather (Michael Wittenborn). At the same time, Joachim immerses himself in the intense and often bizarre world of theater, where passion, competition, and self-expression set the tone. Caught between stage rehearsals and the quirks of family life, Joachim is swept into a whirlwind of self-doubt, bizarre encounters, and inspiring moments. Along the way, he tries not only to hold his own in the theater world but also to figure out who he really is. (Source: filmstarts.de)
