THE WOODCHUCK HUNT THE THANKLESS FOREIGNER

Metropolitan Province

development / Fiction

Corporate psychologist Thomas Müller must discover during the 2018 World Cup that his love life and his state of mind are linked to the results of the footballer Thomas Müller.

Summer 2018 in a provincial capital: Not a summer that Thomas Müller likes to remember, yet not a summer he will ever forget either, because pretty much everything goes wrong. The 28-year-old falls head over heels in love, but she doesn’t fall for him. His best friend Brazzo takes a swan dive. The Germans are knocked out of the World Cup – and with them Müller’s namesake, with whom he feels more connected than is good for him. The fact that in real life he is more of a spectator with a beer in his hand than a player with the ball at his foot seems to gradually be taking its toll on Thomas. A comically tragic film about today’s Lost Generation, which does not take its lostness entirely seriously.
