Content of the movie Toggle

It was clear that Marie (Jessica Schwarz) would fall in love with the wrong guy again. Jeshua (Florian David Fitz) is just too perfect. Finally a man who can listen, isn’t egotistical and is also good-looking. Admittedly, he is a little strange. He comes from Palestine, has a bad hairdresser, doesn’t know what a tomato is and washes the feet of complete strangers. But no matter where love falls. And God knows Marie could do with a shoulder to lean on. Happy ending? Not quite …! Because this Yeshua has a mission. He’s supposed to prepare the end of the world. Not immediately. But next Tuesday. Slowly a light dawns on Marie …
