Rabbit Without Ears

In the bustling heart of Berlin, the sensationalist world of the yellow‑press spins stories as fast as the city’s traffic. Ludo Decker is a charismatic yet reckless reporter for the tabloid Das Blatt, thriving on celebrity scandals and a lifestyle built on fleeting indulgences. He shares this frenetic rhythm with his sharp‑tongued photographer sidekick, whose quick wit keeps the duo one step ahead of consequences—until a public spectacle forces Ludo onto a very different stage.

Sentenced to three hundred hours of community service, Ludo finds himself in the unlikely setting of a local kindergarten, a bright‑filled haven that contrasts sharply with the glare of celebrity gossip. The walls echo with children’s laughter, and among the teachers stands Anna Gotzlowski, the director whose memories of the neighborhood reach back to Ludo’s own mischievous youth. Their first encounters crackle with unresolved tension, as Anna’s lingering grudge hints at deeper, unspoken histories that neither can easily ignore.

The film balances its comedic edge with moments of genuine introspection, painting a portrait of a man caught between the hollow allure of tabloid fame and the quiet possibility of redemption. Berlin’s vibrant streets and the kindergarten’s warm, chaotic energy create a dual backdrop where humor and heart intertwine. As Ludo navigates the demands of his sentence, the chemistry with Anna gently nudges him toward questions about identity, responsibility, and what might lie beyond the next sensational headline.
