About the Event

Feste und Freunde – Ein Hoch auf uns!
Australian premiere
Hilarious and poignant, this feel-good dramatic comedy follows a group of friends across three years as they reunite at various parties, learning about true love, friendship and living life to the fullest.
When Ellen attends her friends’ New Year's Eve party, she is keeping a secret: she is having an affair with the already-married Sebastian, whom she believes to be the love of her life. Meanwhile there is tension in the marriage of Mareike and Adam, and things are heating up between Rolf and Diana.
As momentous occasions are celebrated, friendships and relationships are put to the test; there is love, arguments, laughter, tears, weddings, children, and while some people find each other, others separate.
Directed by David Dietl (Berlin Bouncer) and featuring a stellar ensemble including Laura Tonke, Ronald Zehrfeld (also in Two to One), and Trystan Pütter (Toni Erdmann), Long Story Short skillfully weaves together humour and serious moments in a magnificent ode to life, love and friendship.
