Roommate Quest! - The Small Things

Zimmer Gesucht! - Die kleinen Dinge

Germany / Comedy / 00:08:29 min

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just skip to the end and find out how everything pans out? Marina is sure she can. And she already knows who is going to move in with her. Roommate Quest! - embarking on an urban odyssey for a shared flat, David and Laura navigate through a maze of the quirkiest roommates one could imagine. From fortune-tellers and life coaches to life-altering advice doled out through a cat flap, and the near-death experience of stoned philosopher, their journey is anything but ordinary. In each of the five episodes, the two stumble from one absurd encounter to the next. "Roommate Quest!" is a comedic tribute to the wild, whimsical, and often frustrating journey familiar to everyone who has ever searched for a shared flat. The series consists of 5 parts. Each episode stands on its own. For this reason, the episode "The Small Things" is being submitted as a standalone work.
