About Wahrheit oder Pflicht
Annika's life and experiences as a young woman include peculiar sex, an unfortunately cold best friend, a terrible tutor/boyfriend, and a sensible and beautiful boyfriend (Kai). Her family life and lie collide in such a way that it is impossible for her to tell the truth even when she desperately wants to.
Directed by Arne Nolting, Jan Martin Scharf, Wahrheit oder Pflicht leans on a strong ensemble — Katharina Schüttler, Thomas Feist, Jochen Nickel — 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.
