Karoline Herfurth, Michael Herbig
25 years after his legendary TV series "Kir Royal", Helmut Dietl again presents a wickedly funny take on Germany's jet set. Given that times have changed, his satire "Zettl" isn't set in Munich anymore, but in Berlin: The film centers around a street-smart chauffeur (Michael Herbig), who talks his way up to the position of editor-at-large of a new gossip magazine. While manoeuvring though the capital's media and political scene, he has to defend himself against several intrigues and at the same time has to find the big scoop for his first publication. With scathing humour, Dietl depicts Berlin's "elite" as a scheming clique which – apart from power and sex – only craves one thing: to look good on page one. The film's stellar ensemble features Ulrich Tukur, Karoline Herfurth and Senta Berger.
