Quick Synopsis
Georg, an unemployed professional improviser living in Leipzig, wants the best care for his child who has epilepsy. He finds a stylish daycare center but feels unable to reveal his jobless status, especially since his wife works as a cleaning lady. To fit in with the trendy parents, Georg fabricates a background as an event manager and gets involved in organizing local events like flea markets and barbecues, even handling the cash register. He initially receives nearly half a million euros as a supposed gift, which he uses to support a more extravagant lifestyle and blend in with the hip community. However, as he continues to juggle credit cards and engage in questionable activities, his deceptive actions start to cause serious problems.
Detailed Synopsis of Got Ya!
Georg, a professional improviser, wants the best for his epileptic child—and he finds it in a chic daycare center in Leipzig. He can't admit that he's unemployed and his wife works as a cleaning lady. With a doctored biography and rusty charm, he fakes his way into the hip parenthood scene as a supposed event manager, organizing flea markets, barbecuing, smoking weed, and taking over the cash register. The fact that there is almost half a million euros in it is initially a "gift" that Georg soon uses to treat himself to a lavish lifestyle without anyone noticing – and to become more and more like the hip parents. But as he juggles credit cards, his shady dealings increasingly begin to turn against him.
