DIE TELEFONZELLE

Tom wants to throw a surprise party for his best friend Anna, since he’s a bit in love with her. Unfortunately, the bar has messed up his reservation – and the only room available at short notice is the phone booth in the backyard. Tom tries everything to throw the „best party of the year“ anyway. But the cell is too small, the bar’s rules are too absurd and Anna is far too difficult to impress. Tom realizes: The right mindset doesn’t help at all! A film about great ambitions in confined spaces.
