Real Buddy

After six and a half years in the toughest prison the near future has to offer, Morris the fraudster tries to survive his last day in jail. With his booty of five million Dollars hidden safely within the prison walls he cannot wait to get out and start a bright future. But first he must survive the constant threat of the world ending outside and the attempts of his fellow inmates inside to get his money. With his cell buddy at his side, he struggles to keep his secret and hopes the world is still there tomorrow.

Directed by Frank Mirbach, Real Buddy leans on a strong ensemble — Dietrich Hollinderbäumer, Thomas Morris, Heinrich Schafmeister — 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 2014.
