About Von oben nach unten
The quirky bestselling author Paul Legert suspects that his lost novel has been published by a competitor. In order to convict him of plagiarism, Legert has to find the impostor in Ibiza and force him to confess. There he is soon confronted not only with the publisher's assistant Hanna Weiler, but also with ideas that turn his world view upside down.
Directed by Oliver Mielke, Von oben nach unten leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Brandner, Claudia Hiersche, Anna Böttcher — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2016.
