Leben GmbH

winner of 99-Fire-Films best camera award 2014


»Leben GmbH« is a fictional company in a parallel world, which is controlling our lives through »life-event-mandates«. The main character, employee NR 17-23, is strictly controlled by the company, together with thousands of fellow workers. Each of them has to write stories for other peoples lives everyday, while they themselves have to live in a monotone and completely eventless world. They just live for their work – the creation of reality, for humans like us. One day, caused by a fault in the company's system, NR 17-23 receives a life-event-mandate with his own number and picture on. Suddenly, he has the unique opportunity to change everything.
