BOLZMANN

Fiction, Dark Comedy | 30 min | 2021 | SEVENPEAKS FILM PRODUCTIONS

The ex-local football star René "Bolzmann" Kleinschmidt still hangs in his now gentrified corner pub. From his old glory - he shot Tasmania Berlin into first division - nothing has remained. The young guests make fun of him even more. René wants to gain new recognition by winning a foosball tournament. But what nobody knows is that there is far more at stake for him. He suffers from a brain anorism and is pursued by visions of his former self, at which he threatens to lose his mind.
