Regiebesuch: DANKE FÜR NICHTS

++ In the presence of director Stella Marie Markert ++

What would you do if your best friend tried to kill herself, the other was being deported, the third was in a manic phase and the fourth had stopped speaking?

Katharina, Ricky, Victoria and Malou live in an assisted living group. Malou (Zoe Stein "Manticore") hasn't spoken a word since she learned at the age of five that sausage is made of meat pressed in the intestines; Ricky (Safinaz Sattar "Sløborn", "Unorthodox") decided at 13 to stay in Germany without his parents; and Victoria (Sonja Weißer "Maxton Hall") is the epitome of neglected prosperity. And then there's Katharina (Lea Drinda "In die Sonne schauen"), who actually never wanted to be older than 18, but now her birthday is just two weeks away. The four friends have built themselves a little anarchic utopia - an alternative to everything they reject: Parents, school, rules. With their unmotivated social worker Ballack (Jan Bülow "Die Theorie von Allem") as a half-hearted guardian, things are actually going quite well. Until their "live and let live" agreement is shaken up by Katharina's worries.
