EVA COLLÉ – 25, drifter, Berliner, poet,  pet-owner, sex worker, virgo, recovering addict, housewife, feminist, model – declared privacy an outdated concept at the age of 14. 

This is the tale of a young woman growing up in the age of the internet, turning the search for oneself into a public spectacle, challenging you on what a woman should be. Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a generation, in which the concept of a fixed identity has grown old.

A portrait of modern existence.

Six men in their early thirties share the same name is this enough for a friendship? CSL tells the story of the foundation of the "Christoph Schwarz Lodge" from the perspective of filmmaker Christoph Schwarz. The Lodge offers a discreet network for professional and private purposes, and tries to foster help among namesakes. To fulfill the expectations of his script doctor, filmmaker Schwarz adds some fictitious elements to the story, which challenges the true spirit of the fraternity.
