Zweigstelle

2025 · 105 min

A wry, bureaucratic afterlife comedy that turns cosmic judgment into deadpan office absurdity, funny and quietly philosophical.

Overview: When Resi and her clique get into a fatal accident on their trip to the Alps, they find themselves in a Bavarian afterlife authority that will decide their fate. Elysium, purgatory, rebirth - anything seems possible. When it becomes clear that the group lacks all conviction, the question arises: what the hell happens to someone who didn't believe in anything when they were alive? 
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, dark and whimsical. Measured and needs your attention.

Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
