Long Synopsis
Inspired by Billy Wilder’s People On Sunday (1930), Playtime is a seamless journey through the lives of German youth on a
Sunday afternoon.
Jan (Jan Müller) awaits his date with the sexy Matilda (Marylu Poolman). But when Matilda
shows up with Andy (Markus Klauk), Jan realizes she has more in mind for their afternoon together. Not interested in
this ménage à trois, Jan leaves Matilda and Andy to their own fun.
But their rendezvous is quickly interrupted by a
group of children at play. The boys poke fun at Andy’s shortcomings, until he finally chases them away to a mysterious
graveyard. There, one of the boys (Tim Lingens) gets lost in his imagination as the sun sets on this ordinary Sunday
experienced through extraordinary lives.
