TRENNUNG FÜR FEIGLINGE

A comedy by Clément Michel

Paul and Sophie have been a couple for some time now. Four months ago, they moved into an apartment together and settled in. They’re happy—or so she thinks. He sees things completely differently. Paul finds living together awful and, consequently, wants to break up with Sophie.

Unfortunately, Paul lacks the guts to break up with his charming girlfriend. So he turns to his best friend Martin for help. The plan: Martin is supposed to move in with them and act out until Sophie gives Paul an ultimatum: “Either he goes, or I do.” And—just like that—the matter is settled.

Martin isn’t too thrilled about this idea, especially since he finds Sophie likable. When Paul feeds his girlfriend a story about a death in Martin’s immediate family, there’s no escape for Martin. He agrees to temporarily relocate. For a week at most—no more.

And so begins a very special ménage-à-trois that takes some surprising turns. After all, who would have thought that Sophie would set her sights on “therapizing” poor, grief-stricken Martin?

An original, fast-paced comedy about the breaking points in human relationships.
