'Hatching' - Social Media as the Modern Cardboard World
Hanna Bergholm's 'Hatching' shows us that the modern version of the cardboard world trope is social media.
Ronny & Klaid
Berlin buddies Ronny and Khalid, known as Klaid, are trying to make ends meet with their neighborhood kiosk. While Ronny falls head over heels in love with the daughter of the local mafia boss, Klaid loses a fortune at his roulette table. The two of them only have a week to find the money and pay the gangsters. They read on a website that one in ten Germans is a millionaire. It's clear: all they have to do is kidnap the next ten Späti customers. Sounds like an (almost) perfect plan.
