### **ABOUT THE FILM:** *In German and English with English subtitles.* At MyCompanion, the cultured and confident Matthias (Albrecht Schuch) is available – for a reasonable fee – to fill any social role you desire. Handsome, well-mannered, and the ideal companion for all social situations, Matthis plays all roles from ‘the perfect son’ to the ‘enlightened boyfriend’, or even ‘pilot dad’ to impress your classmates at Bring Your Parent to School Day. But while Matthias is at the top of his professional game, his relationship with his partner Sophia (Julia Franz Richter) and personal life begin to crumble as he detaches from his own identity and burrows deeper into his fictitious lives. Can Matthias dive deep enough within himself to find the answer to who he really is? Schuch’s sincere performance and at times deadpan comic timing embody the tension and desperation within Matthias as he navigates through his many lives. Wenger’s multi-award-winning debut feature is a biting and hilarious social satire about the masks we wear in the pursuit of human connection.
