Matthias is a master of his profession. Do you need a 'cultured boyfriend' to impress your friends? A 'perfect son' to influence your business partners' opinion of you? Or maybe just sparring partner to rehearse an argument? Whatever it is, just rent Matthias! While he excels at pretending to be someone every day, just being himself is the real challenge. A singular tragicomedy capturing with offbeat humour the essence of human relationships.
