Real life is not a TV-casting-show. For seven years Director Andres Veiel followed four young actors who have lived to prove it. The film starts out when Constanze, Karina, Stephanie and Prodromos are auditioning for entrance to the venerable Ernst Bush Academy of Acting in Berlin. All four of them have a passion for the theatre, they are addicted to acting. When they finally make it, they are elated. Fencing classes, group exercises and role play are their first experiences at the school. But the initial happiness soon wears off, as their love for drama is constantly put to the test. Enduring the merciless criticism by their teachers becomes the toughest challenge of all. The fight to uphold the will to go on becomes harder and harder. After seven years they must ask themselves what has become of their dreams. (DOK.fest München)
