Featured Film – "Zwei zu eins" (Germany)
In Two to One, a group of clever East Germans seizes the chaotic post-GDR era in 1990 to retrieve hidden millions from an underground vault. As they outsmart formidable opponents, the heist takes an unexpected turn when money officially unrecognized in the GDR circulates. Directed by Natja Brunckhorst and featuring the 2024 Academy Award-nominated Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, Toni Erdmann), alongside Max Riemelt (Sense 8) and Ronald Zehrfeld (Barbara, Phoenix), this is a historical comedy, based on a true story set in the GDR
