What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Nine to Five - Das Amt turns the citizens' office into a workplace farce, with official procedures offering little protection from the people meant to carry them out. Attempts to improve the bureaucracy become fresh sources of disorder, while career ambitions, office squabbles, and personal entanglements push everyday situations toward the ridiculous. The comedy unfolds through episodic mishaps and ensemble friction rather than a fast-moving plot.

Ronja's enthusiasm for optimization runs up against Conny's practical work of keeping the office functioning. Their clash gives the paperwork a human dimension: a new boss wants change, while the person managing the daily routine has to keep things running amid the disruption. Optimism meets institutional inertia, and even an ordinary working day becomes a contest between managerial plans and stubborn habits.

Official Premise

In the Berlin-Tiergarten-Mitte-West citizens' office, bureaucratic chaos collides with career ambitions: The new boss, Ronja, causes unrest with her attempts at optimization, while Conny keeps the place running smoothly. Amidst bureaucracy, office squabbles, and personal entanglements, everyday life at the office escalates in a wonderfully absurd way.

Tasmania has finally been given the green light to field a team in the AFL - but there's a catch. The locals have to build a new stadium, and not everyone thinks the billion dollar spend is a good idea.

Why this pick

Nine to Five - Das Amt makes misguided attempts to improve a workplace funny, and Ground Up finds similar comedy in civic plans meeting practical reality. The Berlin office thrives on squabbles and deadpan absurdity; Ground Up adds mockumentary interviews and local disagreements, with the same pleasure in watching good intentions go sideways.

After the founder of a funeral home dies, his ambitious right-hand man expects to inherit control. Instead, the widow takes charge, throwing the family business into a chaotic struggle involving workplace rivalries, business competition, family tensions, and the unusual demands of funeral services.

Why this pick

Office comedy gets its spark from bruised ambition and people scrambling when familiar routines break, a pleasure shared by Nine to Five - Das Amt and Death Inc. Ronja’s reforms unsettle the Berlin office, while a funeral home rivalry turns a change in leadership into escalating farce, with a darker setting and sharper personal grudges.
