In and Out

The Berlin academic Pascal inherits a legendary painting from his recently deceased uncle. The heirloom exerts an extraordinary attraction on the new owner, but the picture also calls upon dark forces who appear in the form of two gangsters led by a mysterious client on the telephone. After they gain access to the apartment, a real odyssey begins in an attempt to take the painting. As more villains enter the scene, a wide tangle of mishaps and unforeseen problems arise, making the task a near-impossible undertaking.

Directed by Jan-Oke Jens, In and Out leans on a strong ensemble — Noah Tomiak, Eray Egilmez, Tobias Schmidt — 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 comedy titles of 2024.
