Berlin Excelsior Sat. March 9, 2019 11:00 a.m. Castro Theatre, San Francisco US Premiere 88 min. Germany (2018) BD. English, German, and Italian w/ English subtitles Director: Erik Lemke World Sales: Rommel Film Official selection of the 2017 Hof International Film Festival. Decorative boards are carelessly attached to the pale front of a dull concrete apartment block - the Excelsior in Berlin. For most of its inhabitants this is just a stopover, as very soon, life will get better, and everyone will find their own way: 49-year-old Michael tries to live up to his former success as an escort by promoting the application of "invisible make-up" online. Claudia's showgirl days are over, but the photos of a shooting session are to smooth her way back to the stage anyway. Norman's startup "ChangeU" is designed to help people get happy and himself get a sleek new sports car... Hardly anyone of them manages to evade falling victim to the temptations of our success-oriented society. **THIS EVENT HAS A STRICT REFUND POLICY. No refunds will be processed by Brown Paper Tickets more than 12 hours after the time of purchase.**
