Geiger, A. Wochenendkrieger

In the middle of our forests, magical elves and other mythical creatures wage a fierce battle against the dark side of the Force, against orcs, evil demons and the undead. Good versus evil, a battle for life and death - every weekend. With elf ears, wigs and knight's armour, the weekend warriors immerse themselves in a fantasy world that has nothing in common with their everyday lives.

The film follows five people in this dream world and in their everyday lives beyond the live role-playing games. Sven, an assembly line worker, becomes the invulnerable gardener of the oily pestilence. Chris has her regular job as a teacher and shines at the weekend as the malevolent ruler of the void. Nicole is studying fashion design and has to make a fateful decision as the sensitive fairy queen Lenora. And make-up artist Gregor floats through the woods as arch-mage Lamathiel, while Dirk, secretary of the Green Party, leads a huge army into battle as the prince of undead flesh.
"Weekend Warriors" is a film about the fascinating exchange of identities that enables ordinary people to achieve their dream of freedom and happiness in moments between illusion and reality.
