Synopsis:

The story of LIFE FOR SALE happens at the present day in Germany. It is a drama film and the characters live in modern society. Filou is a young, bald boy who is homeless. Very tall with characteristic cheek bones he is also a quiet impressionable person, who loves music. He plays on 'air guitar'. He has got two friends: Liocha (Russian boy) and Mortiz. They survive, just, thanks to donating blood (every week) or walking dogs. Finally they have another idea for money. Together they sell themselves on an online auction. One of them sells his childhood, the second his future and the main character - his soul. After this their whole life changes incredibly. They are not the same people anymore. With money comes problems and away go friendships. The music in the film perfectly fills the background and gives it an unforgettable atmosphere. The end of the film is really surprising and a little bit horrifying. The message is deep-meaning. The director tries to say that nowadays, in the 21st century, we can sell everything, even humans. The other information, which he wants to tell, could be the fact that money always divides people. It is a really sad conclusion, but unfortunately true. For me the film was an extraordinary experience and a few hours after this performance I could not stop thinking about it.
I would recommend LIFE FOR SALE to everybody who even once was wondering how money can change being human.

Tells the story of three people who auction their most expensive possessions - one his old age, another his childhood and the third his soul--on the Internet. What starts off as an unlikely trick turns into a nightmare when they discover they've sold their very existences, and there are no refunds.

Looking for easy money, three young dropouts auction themselves on the Internet. One sells his future, one sells his past. The third sells his soul. What starts off as an unlikely trick turns into a nightmare when they discover they've sold their very existences.
