Abduction for Beginners

Story

Too old, too ugly, too invisible? On the contrary, the scrap-heap is the place to be! No false shame, no conventions, the cast-offs are making a comeback. A blackly funny comedy thriller. Accountant Adam (Christian Berkel) can hardly believe it: just before his 40th anniversary at the Moser beauty company, his boss Rob (Fritz Karl) sends him into early retirement – and his job will be replaced by AI! To take his revenge on the beauty guru, Adam kidnaps his wife Evelyn, the figurehead of Moser products (Andrea Sawatzki). But as a beginner, he hasn’t reckoned with the intelligence of his victim.
