Denn wie man sich bettet

Directed by Frederik Bösing · Written by Frederik Bösing and Max Rechtsteiner

Things are going badly for bed salesman Uwe. He has money troubles, the furniture store has fired him, and of all times, he’s looking for a place to sleep at Christmas. When he tries to spend the night in the bed department, he gets caught by the aging security guard, Bernd. Uwe runs away and discovers that Bernd is running a shady business in the furniture store. In the anonymity of the night, Bernd sells identities, and tonight, he has a customer with special demands.

Conversations with Frederik and Max began during script development and continued through post-production. We wanted a distinctive sound for Uwe and Bernd, eventually finding it in 1950s-style drums and blues guitar.

The arrival of Lorenz, an unusual customer, introduces a different musical style — another enjoyable shift in this comedy’s score.
