Featuring a post-film Q&A with actress Lena Urzendowsky!

For Franky, life isn’t easy. To the people around her, she seems unpredictable and erratic, and she has never allowed herself to fall in love because she is too busy dealing with her inner chaos.

Her best friend Katja accepts her changing moods, but Franky has never revealed to anyone that—as a result of her multiple personality disorder—she imagines an old hotel in her head, inhabited by four weird but lovable characters who can switch into her body in the real world by using the elevator.
