Lila has just spent a year as an exchange student in the United States. Back in Berlin, a lot has changed. At school, Paris-Hilton-blondes have the upper hand and her sister Luzy is crazy about a singer in the popular boy band Berlin Mitte. But Lila doesn’t care much about all that. By chance she meets Christopher and the two fall head over heels in love. After a short time, it turns out that Christopher is actually Chriz, the acclaimed singer of Berlin Mitte. The couple now faces lots of turmoil and many problems: the squealing little sister, persistent female fans, the press and also Chriz’s manager, for whom it is clear that groupies don’t stay for breakfast, all stand in the way of the young lovers.
Witty and moving, this teen comedy film is an entertaining experience for all ages.
Director Marc Rothemund achieved his breakthrough in 2005 with the award-winning film Sophie Scholl – The Final Days. With Single by Contract, he has proven his talent in a completely different genre.
