Die konkreten großen Geheimnisse oder Entblätterungen der Figuren sollten nicht verraten werden. Vor allem Pepes Geheimnis gehört dazu. Auch im Promotion-Material, im Trailer und Teaser haben wir absichtlich darauf verzichtet, wie Sie selbst sehen können, obwohl die größte Begeisterung und der größte Spaß im Kino natürlich erst dann aufkommen, nachdem Leo Pepe darum bittet die Handys zu tauschen. Deswegen wären wir Ihnen unendlich dankbar, wenn Sie die spannenden Wendungen nicht enthüllen oder spoilern, sondern Themen und Konflikte so andeuten oder behandeln könnten, dass man im Kino noch überrascht werden kann und sich darauf freut, die Figuren selber entdecken zu können. Denn um nichts weniger geht es in dem Film: um Geheimnisse, oder? Vielen Dank! P.S.: Wir bitten um Verständnis, dass wir den Film nicht allen rechtzeitig zeigen können, da die Postproduktion derzeit noch nicht abgeschlossen ist.
