Nini Hölzl: RUHE BITTE – ich rekuperiere! - PREMIERE

With a sharp eye, charming self-irony and unerring humor, Nini Hölzl dissects the madness of self-optimization, constant overload and overtourism. In german language.

As a hypersensitive, presumably highly gifted (still unclear why) psychologist with a pronounced tendency to overthink, Nini Hölzl regularly fails in her own specialty: switching off.

A whole chorus of intrusive voices in her head, hormones that quietly say goodbye and an AI that makes itself toxically important reliably prevent any relaxation.

In a world that constantly demands optimization and turns even relaxation into an achievement, Nini Hölzl sets out in search of something seemingly impossible: peace and quiet. But this has long since become a scarce commodity - sold out, right alongside contentment and meaning.

Even nature is overloaded and a walk in the woods requires an online booking.

While humanity is collectively balancing at the limit, the electric car, of all things, provides a surprising metaphor for life: recuperating instead of collapsing. Recovering energy when things go downhill.

With a sharp eye, charming self-irony and unerring humor, Nini Hölzl breaks down the madness of self-optimization, constant overload and overtourism. And along the way, it becomes clear how it could perhaps work after all: with a contented life and perhaps the most radical longing of our time - peace and quiet, please!
