100 Things

Toni loves his espresso machine. Paul loves his mobile phone. Toni cannot live without his hair pills, Paul cannot live without his sacred sneakers. But above all Paul cannot live without Toni and Toni cannot live without Paul. Although they are unaware of this fact. It is always about who is better or cooler, and the result is: they end up without any furniture or clothes, naked and freezing. And that is just Day One! 100 days: that is the length of time they have bet that they can do without everything. Everyday, just one object returns. And already they have become entangled in questions that never occurred to them before: what do we really need? Do we own our possessions or do they own us? Does free will even exist, and how often can one turn one’s underpants inside out again before they have to be disposed of as hazardous waste? (Berlinale)
