Hull Independent Cinema: Two To One

TWO TO ONE
Dir Natja Brunckhorst | Germany | 2024 | 115 mins | Rated 12A | German

East Germany on the eve of the country’s reunification, and a group of friends stumble upon a huge stash of Ostmarks in an abandoned bunker. Discovering that the cash is soon to become worthless and can only be exchanged at a much-reduced rate, they hatch a scheme to instead use it to acquire goods that will improve the lives of their small community and enter the capitalist age in style. But as the commodities pile up, greed and love triangles threaten the success of this final flourishing of communist comradeship in this heartfelt crime caper comedy.

Starring Sandra Hüller, Max Riemelt, Ronald Zehrfeld
