Klassentreffen (2019)

It has been 25 years since they graduated from high school or could have done it if they had not graduated beforehand, had done laps of honor or simply failed. Now they see each other again at the class reunion, the former top of the class, the former genius, the ex-class brat, the ex-class ass, meanwhile in their mid-40s, and suddenly face the people with whom they dreamed their future life back then . But what has actually happened in reality now? With others, but also with yourself? Annette Frier, Charly Hübner, Anja Kling, Jeanette Hain, Nina Kunzendorf, Fabian Hinrichs, Oliver Wnuk, Elena Uhlig, Kida Khodr Ramadan, Anna Schudt, Christian Kahrmann, Marek Harloff, Aurel Manthei, Nadja Zwanziger, Nicole Kersten, Guido Renner, Björn Jung: That is the impressive list of actors and actresses who came to play with 17 former classmates without a text or a well-written story. Burghart Klaußner slipped into the role of the teacher who doesn't want to miss a reunion with his old students. Without knowing the full life path of all the other characters, the actors improvised for two days on the basis of their role profiles and their own life experience, they got into unpredictable situations, astonished the others - and probably sometimes also themselves - with quick-wittedness and dramaturgical imagination and developed in this way moments and stories full of humor, melancholy and truthfulness.
