Matthias is handsome, cultured, and intelligent, and he works for an agency that provides “friends for hire,” where he offers his companionship on a per-service basis. However, despite excelling in roles as a model boyfriend or brilliant son, he struggles to find his true identity in his personal life. The Austrian director makes his feature debut while retaining the subtle, quirky, and distinctly visual humor that characterized his earlier short films, which were presented and awarded at various international festivals (Excuse Me, I’m Looking for the Ping-Pong Room, My Girlfriend).
