action

The film student Mathias Hinz is shooting his graduation film at the HFF Munich with the title Zwei D , which is about a film student who is making his graduation film. The shooting is progressing slowly, the poorly available film technology often goes on strike due to the budget constraints, the crew is amateurish and overwhelmed with the demands of a film-within-a-film production and Mathias is unhappy in love with his pretty but talentless leading actress Eva. So he gets into a crisis and takes refuge in daydreams in which he is happy with Eva, remembers his childhood in the Ruhr area, when he was in love with his older cousin Angelika and saw Godzilla films in the cinema and he experiences in Flash Backs his entrance exam again, in which he cannot give any answers to the questions of the examiners about his opinion on the film in general and (in particular) on his reasons for starting a directing course.

When Eva showed up one day with a black eye for the filming that her boyfriend Robert gave her, Mathias had to reschedule due to a lack of suitable makeup artists and turn his project, which was actually planned as a serious film, into a comedy ( "Better a comedy than none Film. " ). Mathias reproaches Eva for not defending herself against her boyfriend. He wants to go to the cinema with her, but she prefers to spend the time with Robert. So Mathias looks at himself do it again, Sam of his great role model Woody Allen .

After a few days in which the production of the film was going badly, a young journalist from a Munich Zeitgeist magazine wanted to do an interview with Mathias, which he reluctantly accepted, as he didn't understand the fuss about himself and filmmaking in general. And so he answers Françoise's questions evasively and unsatisfactorily, because he only makes films for fun and has no deeper motives or wants to convey messages. So the two break off the interview and instead sleep together.

When the previous recordings were examined and considered by the crew to be rather unusable, Mathias was rather dejected. When Eva finally tells him that she only has one day left because her boyfriend is taking a job in Geneva and she wants to accompany him, Mathias is finally on the nerves. He tries to save a lot by changing the shooting schedule, but is still certain that his film was doomed to failure from the start. He blames Eva, insults and pisses her off. After she has drifted off insulted, he dreams of the Academy Awards, where he wins against Francis Ford Coppola , Alan Parker and Woody Allen and receives the award for best film.

Finally he thinks of better and rushes to the airport, where he catches up with Eva. He apologizes and quotes the closing scene from Casablanca and do it again, Sam .

After Eva boarded the plane with Robert and Mathias was left alone, someone suddenly shouted "Off!" and it turns out that Mathias is just a film character who plays in Sönke Wortmann's graduation film.

background

Sönke Wortmann's graduation film first ran at the Hof Film Festival in March 1990 and was shown in cinemas together with Wortmann's short film Fotofinish . In his film, which is nested through flashbacks and leaps in time, Sönke Wortmann deals with the medium of film itself as well as with the difficulties of a young director in developing his own signature and his artistic position in film history. His work is also an homage to Woody Allen's film Do it again, Sam , which in turn was an homage to Casablanca . In addition Wortmann proves one of his home Ruhr tribute by playing the childhood of his protagonist there and can occur with Willi Thomczyk and Hedi Kriegeskotte two actors from the Ruhr. The fact that the protagonist Mathias is ultimately only a film character gives the film title its meaning.

Awards
