FITNESS UND VERZWEIFLUNG (WT)

FITNESS AND DESPAIR (WT)

FITNESS AND DESPAIR (WT) is a genre-crossing love story about Berlin-based local politicians Wanda and Faraz, and a relationship in its long-term state and the troublesome small-scale negotiations that both love and democracy boil down to.

But what happens to a contemporary, egalitarian relationship when one partner‘s career is taking off while the other‘s is not? Can love as a communist island, essentially unselfish and irrational, survive in a free-market environment based on self-interest and economic rationality?

FITNESS AND DESPAIR (WT) is the debut feature of director Moritz Geiser, who studied at the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin (DFFB).
