In the emotionally treacherous landscape of modern relationships, Paul is a true professional. Played by director and star Matthias Schweighöfer, he runs a unique service as a "breakup artist," hired to end people's relationships for them with clinical efficiency. His life is a series of scripted goodbyes, devoid of any real connection, until he meets the fiercely independent and unpredictable Clara (Anna Bederke). Tasked with breaking up with her on behalf of her cowardly boyfriend, Paul finds his usual tactics failing spectacularly against her sharp wit and disarming honesty. This charming German comedy follows the ultimate cynic as his perfectly ordered world begins to unravel, forcing him to confront the messy, unpredictable reality of love he has spent his career avoiding. With a supporting cast including Catherine de Lean and Milan Peschel, Schlussmacher delivers a witty and surprisingly heartfelt exploration of whether a man who makes a living from endings can ever learn how to begin.
