Das perfekte Geheimnis

In the organizer's words:

by Paolo Genovese

Originally an Italian film, which was then covered in at least 11 countries and languages: An evening of four friends who have known each other since their school days and meet privately once a month with their wives for a meal together. This time, the occasion is the viewing of a complete lunar eclipse and the group dares to play a crazy party game: all cell phones are placed on the table and unlocked, all incoming messages and emails are published.
This idea of the hostess, a psychotherapist and also the wife of a plastic surgeon, leads to violent upheavals within a very short time, because everyone in the group has more to hide than they can admit. Not only do secret affairs come to light, even among those present, sexual fantasies are revealed and even a gay coming out at the end of the evening can no longer be avoided. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, couples discover the most secret sides of their partners and even the closest friends find out things they didn't know about each other even after 40 years.

With an exciting and top-class cast, this social comedy, in the best French tradition of Yasmina Reza or Florian Zeller, is now finally being shown in Hamburg at the St. Pauli Theater. Great fun.

With: Sebastian Bezzel, Holger Dexne, Johanna C. Gehlen, Isabell Giebeler, Stephan Grossmann, Sofie Junker, Oliver Mommsen, Anne Weber
