Cas­ting Details:

Main roles:

Herr Strog­go­nov: Herr Strog­go­nov is a 50-year-old man with a thick Ger­man accent, white, chub­by, and a nai­ve out­look. He works at a flower fac­to­ry, and does not rea­li­se of his col­le­agues try­ing to kill him. He has a repres­sed dark side and never gets upset.
Secon­da­ry roles:

Pau­li: Stroggonov’s wife, she appears in one sce­ne to pick up their kids and deli­ver a few lines.
Kids: Stroggonov’s child­ren, who appear in one sce­ne.
Male Porn Actors: 2 hand­so­me and well built men. Their sce­ne invol­ves sen­su­al kis­sing, par­ti­al nudi­ty and simu­la­ted sce­nes but no real sexu­al acts.
Jonas mother: we can only hear her voice during a call she has with Jonas, she has an ame­ri­can accent. She is a loving mom, her son is all she has.
Ger­ty: a seni­or Ger­man man (+50) and Stroggonov’s favo­ri­te neigh­bour. He can’t speak Eng­lish so all his lines are in Ger­man. He appears in one sin­gle sce­ne. He is a hap­py and avera­ge Ger­man old man.
The film is no bud­get. A sym­bo­lic com­pen­sa­ti­on of 30 euros is offe­red for the role of Herr Strog­go­nov, 20 euros for each of the secon­da­ry roles and 10 euros for each of the child­ren.

Good and nut­ri­tio­nal home­ma­de food will be pro­vi­ded.

About the film­ma­ker:

My name is Wil­fre­do, 31 years old and from Peru. I wro­te, orga­nis­ed and direc­ted 21 short films in a year with no school or pre­vious expe­ri­ence. You can find them here: https://​www​.you​tube​.com/​p​l​a​y​l​i​s​t​?​l​i​s​t​=​P​L​m​T​8​0​T​_​P​4​e​J​Z​v​_​n​7​V​B​Q​z​n​-​a​G​Z​Z​j​Z​7​_​wxE

One of them was scree­ned at Inter­film 2023, which hel­ped all the actors jump­start their care­er: https://www.interfilm.de/interfilm-festival-2023/filmsuche/?tx_interfilmfestival_filmlist%5BeventItem%5D=2627&cHash=fc313cc06c5794abd605c18a74f5770f

This one will be at least as good as the best of them. I am aiming for Ber­li­na­le this time.
