Der Zimmerspringbrunnen

The film revolves around Hinrich Lobek, who spends his days at home in Berlin, feeling like a victim of reunification. His wife, an architect, becomes increasingly frustrated with his lack of ambition. Eventually, Hinrich decides to seek employment and is offered a position as a sales representative at Panta Rhein.

On his first day at work, he teams up with Uwe Strüwer, a dedicated employee, as they attempt to sell the "Jona" indoor fountain model. Their journey through a prefabricated housing estate highlights the challenges of their job and the comedy that arises from their failures. Der Zimmerspringbrunnen uses humor to reflect on personal and societal issues during a significant period in German history.
