Followed by a talk with Sheri Hagen

In this fast-paced, tragicomic chamber piece, two close friends decide to take destiny into their own hands. Nina and Angie are inseparable, navigating life’s daily hurdles side by side. When Angie’s teenage daughter, Rahel, urgently needs €300 for a school trip, the pair head to the bank where Nina’s husband, Marc, works to ask for a small loan.

However, Marc’s cold refusal causes Angie to lose her temper, triggering a sequence of events that spirals rapidly out of control. Before they know it, the two women find themselves trapped inside the branch, mistakenly targeted as dangerous bank robbers in a hilarious and high-stakes misunderstanding.

Sheri Hagen is a German-Nigerian filmmaker and actress.
