Watch Trailer

Synopsis

Lena Urzendowsky (Cocoon) delivers an outstanding performance as a young woman dealing with her multiple personalities in the quirky and fantastical dramatic comedy Franky Five Star.

Franky is still figuring out where to go in life. She has never allowed herself to pursue love because she is too busy dealing with her inner chaos. Her best friend Katja knows about her changing moods, but Franky has never revealed her biggest secret. She has an old-fashioned hotel in her head inhabited by four weird but lovable characters, including a strict concierge, a seductive chambermaid and a bell boy, who can alternately switch into her body in the real world by using the elevator.

When she meets Katja’s new boyfriend Hasi (Cino Djavid), Franky’s inner personalities decide to give love a chance but as she starts to fall for him, things spiral out of control.

An imaginative and refreshing take on finding your true self, or more than one.
