Heribert (2024)

The German ex-top model candidate Luna Oberbörsch imagined it completely differently. She stands at the train station in Linz with all her luggage because she was promised a place in an influencer shared apartment. But Luna has too few clicks, too few followers and too little fame - and is thrown out of the shared apartment before she was even in it. Things are also going differently than expected for the programmer Heribert Zocher: he actually wanted to present the app idea at a pitching contest at the Ars Electronica Center that would free him and his development team from his boring help desk job. But Heribert's pitch is at first pathetic, then embarrassing and ends in a faux pas with a shitstorm. And so Heribert and his colleagues are thrown out before they can even develop. When Luna discovered Heribert in Linz, first in the viral video and then in real life, she knew: we are better together than alone. The technically inexperienced but completely fearless would-be influencer begins to coach Heribert and his team. The plan is to publish the app itself and make it the hottest start-up in all of Linz. What the real star of the scene, Rutger Stix, definitely wants to prevent. Rutger has been Heribert's arch-rival since he stole the brilliant idea from Heribert that made the snooty wannabe Elon Musk Rutger a start-up star in the first place. In addition, Rutger has recently had his eye on the programmer Franzi Etlinger, with whom Heribert is secretly in love. For Heribert, this is one more reason to finally overthrow Rutger from the start-up throne and show the whole world that he is more than an IT loser.
