Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made for German TV in 2015, this satirized Merkel-era stability anxiety while Greece teetered. The euro-failure premise aged alarmingly.
Director Markus Imboden mostly does serious drama; this was his chaotic comedy exception. The 5.3 rating suggests Germans prefer their satire subtler.
