Pizza und Marmelade (2008)

Pizza und Marmelade (2008) – IMDb 

I liked it very much. The music film was really well composed as well.

Movie plot translated from DasErste.de - FilmMittwoch - Pizza und Marmelade

The young Munich-based architect is Florian with his first major project just before the break. But log surprising as his architecture firm insolvency has also burst its previous life as a soap bubble. Florian has lived on credit and the revenge now. His large apartment, leased car, the credit line: At a stroke, Florian lost everything. The survival rules dictated from now to the labor office: Florian must accept their assigned jobs if he does not want to lose all support.

Florian marriage really understand what happened to him and his life, he finds himself as a pizza waiter again in a run down neighborhood. A shabby studio and a sweaty work in a cheap pizzeria determine his new life.

From one day to the fall of Florence is the road to success on the social decline and he finds himself unable to cope. Florian can not pay child support for his son Daniel, cause even the demands of his bench in the old overdraft. Florian can not see the truth in the face, either from himself before his ex-wife Susan. He takes refuge in lies, which make his situation intensifies.

In his new environment Florian is confronted with people who give him the puzzle and he does not understand. Florian are all lonely and lost, outsiders in a society fixated on success and consumerism. But it is precisely those where Florian had not even been used to voluntarily hand, are for the young architect to a school of life that changed him permanently.

His new "employer", the chaotic pizza Claudio drives him to the brink of despair, just as nondescript kitchen help Mariella, Claudio secretly loves and is trying to wrap Florence to rescue with the help of the pizzeria. And then there's Edgar Florian Buchner neighbor, a strange fellow who has his roommates offers homemade jams to come with them into the conversation. The Arabic teacher throws a disaster when he tried the old intelligence contacts to help the Syrian seller Fatima. A painful challenge, but is for the shimmering, beautiful Florian Lucia, which attracts him magical. Florian has to face her secret to her really be close.

When nothing works, suddenly everything becomes possible. Distanzlos learns and painful, uncomfortable and overwhelming Florian life and love again.

Don't spend major time with minor people.
If there are people in your life who continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, are too judgmental, have different values and don't have your back during difficult times...that is not friendship.


To have a friend, be a friend.
Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go. Surround yourself with people who reflect values, goals interests and lifestyles.


When I think of any of my successes,
I am thankful to God from whom all blessings flow, and to my family and friends who enrich my life.


Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed, for the better.
At first, you think you're going to be alone, but after awhile, new people show up in your life that make it so much sweeter and easier to endure.


Remember what your elders used to say,

"Birds of a feather flock together.
If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens:
Chickens can't fly!"
