Bernhard Wenger returns to FEST, where he has previously showcased several short films, with one of the most important films of the year, premiered and awarded in Venice. In his unmistakable style, where comedy, satire, and social criticism coexist, Wenger introduces us to a protagonist available for rent, aiming to impress parents, bosses, and potential partners. A man capable of playing any role to perfection. All except his own.

Matthias is a master of his profession. Do you need a “cultured boyfriend” to impress your friends? A “perfect son” to influence your business partners’ opinion of you? Or maybe just a sparring partner to rehearse an argument? Whatever it is, just rent Matthias! While he excels at pretending to be someone else every day, just being himself is the real challenge.
