About Der Fürsorger
Caregiver Hans-Peter Stalder knows the secret code to happiness: a money multiplication strategy that promises hand-picked investors almost unbelievable profits - and a carefree life of luxury. There's just one catch to his story. It's a hoax and only one person stands to benefit: Stalder. For thirteen years, the notorious conman and womanizer fools his naive victims and the authorities.
Directed by Lutz Konermann, Der Fürsorger leans on a strong ensemble — Roeland Wiesnekker, Katharina Wackernagel, Johanna Bantzer — 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 drama titles of 2009.
