Synopsis

Eleven moving dates, eight friends: Philipp, Wiebke, Jessica, Maria, Swantje, Michael, Thomas, Dina – all in their twenties and mutually lonesome. And always searching: For a new city, a new job, an own apartment, a new, or even an old love. The search is never-ending, and so they repeatedly find themselves at a ritual gathering: someone moving. Boxes are shifted from one side of Berlin to the other, or the length and breadth of Germany, from one abode to the next as one life is exchanged for another. In 3 ZIMMER/KÜCHE/BAD, director Dietrich Brüggemann portrays existences in which relationships, social networks and backdrops are in a constant state of flux; where best friends are the only, and therefore the most valuable constant. Humorous sketches of the self-conception of a generation for whom moving has become the symbol of a life on the go.

About the film

Move (German: Drei Zimmer / Küche / Bad; lit. 'Three Rooms / Kitchen / Bath') is a 2012 German comedy film directed by Dietrich Brüggemann.

The film revolves around eight friends in Berlin in their late twenties who try to find a perspective on their lives during constant moves between flat-shares and small part-time jobs. The focus is on siblings Philipp, Wiebke and Swantje. Philipp wants to be a photographer and has been in love with Dina for a long time, but she only sees him as a good friend. Dina shares a flat with Wiebke, who after endless internships finally lands a real job. Wiebke has her eye on Michael, who, however, only wants a "friendship-based" relationship. Philip's best friend Thomas does everything in his power to pursue a career as a graphic designer, and as a result he increasingly neglects his relationship with Jessica. Then there is Maria, who still lives in Freiburg, but is just waiting to finally move in with Philipp in Berlin. Meanwhile, Swantje lives in Stuttgart and maintains contact with the "metropolis" Berlin, mainly by phone.
