Completed - GERMAN - Comedy, Musical - 79 minutes
“The last lie” is a wild screwball comedy musical about love, with a generous score, philosophical plumbers, and more than a kernel of truth in it. The perfect film for the whole family – and don’t forget to bring your affair! No kidding!
Year of production : 2011 Director(s) : Jonas GROSCH Writer(s) : Jonas GROSCH Cast : Katharina WACKERNAGEL, Sebastian SCHWARZ, Leander LICHTI, Marie BURCHARD, Anja KNAUER, Lenn KUDRJAWIZKI Producer(s) : Maxim JURETZKA (BuntFilm), Jost HERING (BuntFilm)
A romantic and contemplative Easter weekend in the country – that’s how Lucy (Katharina Wackernagel) and OIe (Leander Lichti) are imagining their spring holidays. What they don’t know of each other: each of them is having an affair. And on top of that: their respective lovers have chosen this very weekend to leave their partners and to give Ole and Lucy a surprise appearance at their doorstep. This blows the whistle for a dazzling round robin of “the tougher you lie, the more you’ll be loved”. Chaos, entanglements, misunder-standings and most of all lies are now in play. While truth counts little on this weekend, the characters´ true emotions and desires are breaking trough in the songs they can’t help singing.
