BREAK UP MAN (Schlussmacher)
The Milwaukee Film Festival which runs September 26 – October 10, 2013, announced the entire film line-up of 240 films – 103 features and 137 shorts – from 44 different countries. The festival opens with the North American premiere of the German film BREAK UP MAN (Schlussmacher). BREAK UP MAN tells the very funny tale of Paul Voigt, a charming and ambitious professional who works for a ‘relationship break-up’ agency. A master at delivering bad news to husbands and wives on behalf of partners lacking the courage to say ‘it’s all over’. Paul is on the verge of a big promotion and seems to be staring at nothing less than a fabulously successful future. That is until he meets Toto, a needy and neurotic client who decides to cling to cool-and-calm Paul for dear life. Before long it’s Paul who needs counseling as his work performance nosedives and his romance with stunner Natalie heads in a similar direction.
