Two To One

Zwei zu eins

Sandra Hüller, Max Riemelt and Ronald Zehrfeld star in Natja Brunckhorst’s hit German heist comedy.

Three close friends in Socialist East Germany hatch a plan to make a fortune when they find a bunker full of soon-to-be-worthless currency. With the help of their friends and neighbours they tackle progress and capitalism head-on.

★★★★
“A wild story delivered with verve and a suitable degree of irreverence”
JENNIE KERMODE, EYE FOR FILM

★★★★ FILM OF THE WEEK
THE MORNING STAR

Watch in cinemas.

A light-hearted ensemble comedy about friendship, community, love and capitalism, Natja Brunckhorst’s Two To One is set in the long, hot East German summer of 1990.

Maren (Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller), Robert (Max Riemelt – Berlin Syndrome) and Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld – Phoenix) have known and loved each other since childhood. In the final weeks before reunification and with Germany about to change forever, the trio stumble across a fortune in soon-to-be-worthless East German currency, left to rot in Government storage.

With just days to work out what to do with this unexpected windfall before it becomes useless, the three assemble the friends and neighbours living in their crumbling apartment block and together hatch an elaborate plan to exchange the cash for goods – outwitting the incoming Westerners and their capitalism before time runs out.

But can a community previously living under strict socialist values handle this sudden wealth…?

Runner Up in the Glasgow Film Festival 2025’s Audience Award competition.
