I Am the Greatest

What it’s about

In a crowded city, seven people carry private battles. Marie dreads a first date, afraid her unease will show. Karsten treats life as a race where slowing down means losing. Daniel, jostled on the street, imagines teaching the stranger some manners. Agathe seeks peace after a breakup but finds only anger. Lenny dreams of being seen by his idol, Mo. Yara hears noises at night and wonders if a monster is real. Robert, watching other parents at the playground, is flooded with self-doubt.

What hooks you

Nicolai Zeitler and Marlene Bischof co-direct and co-write, while Katharina Stark and Mark Waschke lead the cast as Marie and Karsten.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who like quiet, character-driven fantasy that turns ordinary worries into something strange and moving.
