Oh Hell

ON MAGENTA TV & MAX

The life of 24-year-old Helene (Mala Emde), who goes by the nickname “Hell”, is anything but Instagram material: She drifts from one awful job to the next and from one relationship disaster to another. While her childhood friend Maike (Salka Weber) is busy traveling the world and inventing apps, Helene just has a lot of tabs open on her browser without actually getting anywhere. Hell’s unsparing honesty causes numerous disasters and even contributed to her parents’ divorce. But she also has a special gift: For every face, every piece of clothing, every fragment of a word she encounters, Helene imagines a life that goes with it. Then, in the midst of yet another financial and relationship crisis, Helene meets cello teacher Oskar (Edin Hasanovic), who seems to understand her chaotic worlds and the movies playing in her head. For the first time, Hell has the chance to actually live one of the lives she has always imagines.
