Got Ya!

What it’s about

Georg Sommer, a professional improviser, wants the best for his epileptic child and finds it in a stylish daycare center in Leipzig. But he is unemployed and his wife cleans houses for a living, so he hides the truth behind a doctored résumé and rusty charm, posing as an event manager to win over the trendy parents. He throws himself into their world, organizing flea markets, manning the cash register, and adopting their habits. When a large sum of money comes his way, he secretly indulges in a lavish lifestyle. Yet as he juggles credit cards, his shady dealings start to backfire.
