This looks like the tiny cousin of the famous People on Sunday, where director Eugen Schüfftan was the cinematographer. This is not only his only film as a director, it is one of the first German sound films. Filmed in late summer of 1929, it’s like a moment shot of Germany, still mocking the economic breakdown. The crisis as opportunity. It’s about three colleagues from different social classes, forced to finish their business, who go out for a last ride in a car. They pick up a girl and decide to form a new business together. A comedy full of irony, humanity and daily-life utopianism.
