Overbooked

Luxury luxury luxury and not to be so alone Vanessa wants to spend her holiday at a comfortable resort However due to a booking error at the travel agents Vanessa ends up on a barren desert island The next ship doesnt arrive for another week so until then she has to cope with oddball lighthouse keeper Stanislav and the highly unconventional and nonchalant Sebastian who also has a right to the only shabby guest room Theres no escape from this island and the three gradually get to know each other over schnapps and pie When a further guest arrives in the form of dubious businessman Felix and a body turns up in Stanislavs cellar the insular resort becomes the backdrop for a grotesque fight for life In his debut feature Matthias J Michel cleverly repels various genre and character clichés to create an exceptional black comedy
