A self-optimization grotesque - comedy by Lola Fuchs
Times are bleak, rents are horrendous, wages are low and the mood is shitty, to put it mildly. A liberal finance minister has made saving a virtue - good citizens are modest citizens.
Mandy-Galadriel, failed singer-songwriter and parcel shop operator, doesn't think much of modesty. Heavily in debt to various financial institutions and worried friends, she cultivates her dreams in pink perfume bottles and defiantly refuses to accept the dreariness of adulthood. But the harsh winds of reality don't stop at anyone and so her life is turned upside down just in time for her 30th birthday. Her involuntary journey takes her to the gates of the DAWN Tower, which seems to hover over the rainy city like a UFO. There, guru Veronika von Sonnen and her "soul brother" Markus offer a mind-expanding encounter with the inner child that promises to heal any form of negative "shadow energy". But there are as many rooms as there are secrets hidden behind the mirrored outer wall surface. And what begins as a harmless, spiritual self-help offer turns out to be a dystopian odyssey through the depths of corporate nefariousness. Fortunately, there's also the burnt-out neurotic Melli and Florian, who speaks in riddles and reeks of left-wing extremism, who join Mandy-Galadriel in searching for the light at the end of the tunnel.
