    • Synopsis
    • When one person succeeds, another has doubts! Freelance journalist Juan Romero (Elyas M’Barek) encounters inconsistencies in a cover story by award-winning reporter Lars Bogenius (Jonas Nay). But for the time being, the board of directors of the Chronik news magazine sticks to their celebrated leading writer and try to ignore Romero's search for the truth. The bosses have staked too much on their young shooting star, and there simply can’t be any irregularities. But Romero is unstoppable. Over the course of his research, he literally pushes the boundaries until he has nothing left to lose… other than his job, his reputation, and his family.

      For A Thousand Lines, director Michael Bully Herbig (Balloon) and screenwriter Hermann Florin were inspired by true events. Freely based on one of the biggest scandals in recent media history, UFA Fiction, Feine Filme, and Warner Bros. Entertainment present a gripping and entertaining David vs. Goliath story in our times of fake news and alternative facts.
