About Ewig rauschen die Gelder
Erik Pütz is afraid to make an important confession to his wife Linda: he has been unemployed for two years. What saved him was the regular social welfare check for his former lodger. This gave rise to a bold plan: in addition to his new lodger Harald Klein, Erik invents 35 other needy housemates and collects their checks. Then one day, external inspector Jürgens from the social welfare office knocks on the door...
Directed by René Heinersdorff, Ewig rauschen die Gelder leans on a strong ensemble — Hugo Egon Balder, Jacques Breuer, Jochen Busse — 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 2005.
