No Deposit
Eight men, one empty bottle, no questions asked.
The original concept for the film was to make a movie about a social dilemma. But I'm not a lecturer, so instead I’ve tried to make a film that is honest, intuitive and surprising. I wanted to raise questions without offering answers. So here it is - this is what I came up with.
There's a refund of up to 25 cent on almost every bottle or can in Germany. Despite the apparent economic growth the deposit-refund system in Germany offers a huge financial shelter to an exceedingly growing amount of people. From just the average white-collar worker to homeless or elderly, a lot of different people collect empty bottles in the cities public spaces day by day in order to support themselves.
In essence, “No Deposit” is a simple film about a man who's day job is dedicated solely on bottle refund. It's a story about his friendship, desires and opponents. It takes an no bullshit approach to the ever growing injustices and inequalities in our western well-fare societies. With a big fat twinkle in the eye.
