1000 Zeilen (1000 Lines), a media satire inspired by the real-life 2018 fake news scandal involving disgraced
Der Spiegel journalist Claas Relotius.
Nay will play Lars Bogenius, an award-winning star writer at a major German news magazine who secretly has been faking his interviews and reporting. The only one who suspects him is Romero (M’Barek), a fellow journalist who risks his career, and even his family, to bring the truth to light.
The film is inspired by the book,
Tausend Zeilen Lüge (1000 Lines of :ies) from Juan Morenos, the
Spiegel reporter who exposed Relotius. Michael Bully Herbig (
Balloon), will direct
1000 Zeilen from a script by Hermann Florin, who will also produce through his Feine Filme production company.
