"Everything I never wanted – the name says it all... that's the view behind the facade, behind the glamour world," say directors Annika Blendl and Leonie Stade about their graduation film from the HFF Munich, in which they play themselves. In this satirical tragicomedy with documentary elements, the story is told of two filmmakers who accompany and film the aging TV actress Mareile at a provincial theatre and the 17-yearold model Nina in Milan. The film is financed by a greasy producer who is looking for commercially exploitable success stories. All four women are chasing after their supposed happiness and are in danger of failing.

Director's Biography:Blendl (*1982) works as an actress since 2001. Stade (*1988) went on a trip around the world after she took her A-levels in 2007 and worked as a model in Paris and Milan. They got to know each other in 2009 at the University of Television and Film in Munich.
