Adam & Esra (2018) Online

Upon meeting the very down-to-earth Esra, narcissistic Adam sets out to conquer her. But his superficiality soon becomes a stumbling block - and bit by bit, his facade starts to crack.
Credited cast:
Achmed Abdel-Salam Achmed Abdel-Salam - Adam
Mariam Hage Mariam Hage - Esra
Alexey Hartlieb-Shea Alexey Hartlieb-Shea - Phillip
Nicola Neuer Nicola Neuer - Anja

The second time Achmed Abdel-Salam and Mariam Hage appear together on screen. The first being WIENERLAND - The Series, where they shared a small scene.

The script did not contain any dialogues, only hints about what the characters would be talking about. Director/writer Abdel-Salam wanted the spoken lines to sound as authentic as possible, hence allowing the cast to find their own words.

Due to the improvisational method of shooting, Achmed Abdel-Salam decided to play the part of Adam himself - allowing him to direct scenes from within, by provoking his fellow actors or altering Adam's attitude between takes.
