FABIAN AND THE MURDEROUS WEDDING (formerly DIE BRAUTENTFÜHRUNG) was filmed in Latvia and Lithuania, among other places.
Bastian Pastewka: “Fabian is a small-time con artist who lives from fleecing greedy people who don’t know what to do with their wealth. In order to deceive his counterpart, Fabian works with optical changes, i.e. he takes on roles. As a budding comedian and actor myself, I’ve been allowed to take on all kinds of roles time and again, so I’m going along with this. What’s more, the script for DIE BRAUTENTFÜHRUNG is so wonderfully surprising, funny and original that I absolutely wanted to be part of it.
In addition to Bastian Pastewka in the leading role, Tamara Romera Ginés, Anton Dreger, Barbara Philipp, Ercan Durmaz, Mira Partecke, Bernhard Schütz, Nicole Beutler, Taneshia Abt, Lena Dörrie, Knud Riepen, Marta Kizyma, Daniel Rodic, Till Raskopf, Rabea Lüthi, Georg Paluza, Sara Bartknecht, Maxim Bartknecht and Magnus Krepper will also be seen.
Hapless conman Fabian (Bastian Pastewka) ends up on the run in the middle of a quirky wedding party. He soon realizes that the wedding has more to offer than just festivities – the precious wedding gift to the bride! When a corpse turns up in the garden pavilion, Fabian is more than just accidentally involved in solving the mystery. A thrilling murder mystery full of humor and dark secrets.
