The fall of the Berlin Wall adds a level of gravitas to any film and the unbelievable true story of Two to One from writer-director, Natja Brunckhorst, is no different.
But the humour woven throughout coupled with the political commentary and a great cast featuring Sandra Hüller helps elevate the film.
We sit down with Natja to chat about how her personal experiences made it into the screenplay, what she would do if she discovered a bunker full of cash and the wise words of Steven Spielberg when it comes to working on new projects.
Synopsis
It’s 1990, and the reunification of East and West Germany is looming; the old East German currency is about to become worthless. When friends Maren (Hüller), Robert (Max Riemelt), and Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld) stumble upon a trove of notes, they hatch an elaborate scheme with their neighbours to capitalise on the find.
