Men in the City

by Simon Verhoeven

They fight. They love. They panic.

Five men, some of whom could hardly be more different – and yet all of whom have to struggle with problems related to modern masculinity. There is the likeable slob Philipp, who has no career prospects but learns that his casual girlfriend is expecting his child. His friend Niklas is completely different: everything is going according to plan for him professionally and privately; nevertheless, he is consumed by not wanting to commit. Commitment is not an issue for music producer Jerome anyway. Instead, Bruce, the pop star, really gets on his last nerve. Meanwhile, Roland, a subway conductor, desperately tries to win back his ex-wife, while the lonely Günther threatens to succumb to his loneliness and interprets even the smallest signals from the opposite sex as a glimmer of hope.
