Große Lügen!

Devi, in her mid-thirties, is in the midst of a life crisis. She walks dogs in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district and has neither a husband nor a child nor a successful career to show for herself. She is also searching for her great childhood sweetheart, Jonny Miller, with whom she lived in a shared apartment, but all she knows is that he lives in New York. Her search proves fruitless. Devi decides to leave everything behind, sublet her "apartment with stove heating," and go straight to New York to look for Jonny Miller. But everything turns out differently...

Directed by Jany Tempel, Große Lügen! leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Thalbach, Claudia Mehnert, Sissy Höfferer — 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 2007.
