Advertising Rules!

Synopsis: Advertising Rules! is a hip, hilarious international hit comedy about trying to hold on to your integrity while navigating the cutthroat, high-stakes world of advertising.

Viktor Vogel (Alexander Scheer) gets a huge career boost when he sneaks into a high-powered ad agency meeting and winds up as veteran ad man Eddie Kaminsky's (Götz George) new partner on a big-budget campaign.  Vikor's lucky streak continues when he meets sexy, talented artist Rosa (Chulpan Khamatova) at a club and helps her come up with a great idea for her debut art exhibition.  But, under pressure, Viktor pitches the same idea for his first ad campaign - and gets the green light from Eddie's biggest client.  Soon, Viktor has to decide what's more important: his lust for success or his love for his girlfriend.
