Die Leute gucken schon

Directed by

Jakob Müller Bouhlou

On the day of a big lottery draw, Ilyas is working alone in a kiosk that is sinking into chaos. Because he keeps making mistakes, his boss threatens to fire him—unless he manages to get hold of a slot machine for the kiosk at a nearby warehouse sale today. But on the way, he encounters people everywhere who ask him for favors. For example, second-hand dealer Aaron asks him to transport a huge desk with strange Nazi insignia to the other end of town. Although he doesn't want to do any of this, Ilyas' life fails in a domino effect of apocalyptic daydreams if he refuses the favors. On increasingly confusing detours, he meets his crush Jenny, the struggle rapper Tristan, and a sword-wielding fraternity that wants to buy the desk from him. It's getting late, and Ilyas feels compelled to take action.
