We were delighted to hear from film distribution company Tull Stories about the UK cinema release of Zwei zu Eins on 2nd May 2025! Natja Brunchkorst’s hit German heist comedy stars Sandra Hüller, Max Riemelt and Ronald Zehrfeld, and was Runner Up in the Glasgow Film Festival 2025’s Audience Award competition.
It’s the long, hot East German summer of 1990. Maren (Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller), Robert (Max Riemelt – Berlin Syndrome) and Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld – Phoenix) have known and loved each other since childhood. In the final weeks before reunification and with Germany about to change forever, the trio stumble across a fortune in soon-to-be-worthless East German currency, left to rot in Government storage.
With just days to work out what to do with this unexpected windfall before it becomes useless, the three assemble the friends and neighbours living in their crumbling apartment block and together hatch an elaborate plan to exchange the cash for goods – outwitting the incoming Westerners and their capitalism before time runs out.
But can a community previously living under strict socialist values handle this sudden wealth…?
Two To One is a light-hearted ensemble comedy about friendship, community, love and capitalism.
