In the co-working space, programmer Jana is looking for the next big idea – her new colleagues help her, sometimes more, sometimes less…

After a total professional and personal disaster, 30-year-old programmer Jana wants to make a fresh start and rents a room in a hip start-up space where a bunch of other crazy people want to land the next big thing. The honest girl still wants to rely on herself, and the new ingenious idea, which Jana didn’t come up to herself, contributes to this: an app that understands people’s worries and needs, an artificial intelligence that acts as a psychotherapist to help you in every situation.

Almost everything that characterizes millennials and Generation Z and keeps them alive is incorporated into the plot and the characters, sometimes in a more, sometimes less ironic way.

“The characters in this generational portrait are coherent, and thanks to the good cast, viewers take them to their hearts fast. The comedy is excellently crafted: The start-ups are as quick-witted as they are, the dialog is fast-paced, play on words and character comedy dominate over sitcom punchlines. The production is always open to witty interludes, flashbacks, playful digressions, graphics, everything that enlivens the ‘action’ comically and makes it fast-paced.” – Tittelbach.tv

“The production is delightful, the scenes are so fast-paced, the dialogue so frenzied ando so over-the-top that!” – Stern

“Exaggerated characters contrasted with wonderful dialogue makes the comedy more than worth watching.” – DWDL.de
