Die Migrantigen

In the absurd setting of The Migrumpies there are many levels which are rooted in our experiences and the lives of other people from a migrant background. I’m thinking about the father-son relationship here. We attempted to include in the film the clichés from our lives and give them a plausible feeling. Clichés are always rooted in reality. You can work with them in a very exaggerated fashion, so they are experienced as unreal. But you can also approach clichés with respect. (Arman T. Riahi) For a documentary show about a socially disadvantaged neighborhood, the two well-off friends Benny and Marko pretend to be petty criminals with immigrant background – before the coin flips and reality turns against them.
