Franz von Strolchen
The Great Resignation (2025)
A once successful actor (Fritz Fenne) has quit his job and now works at a car rental agency. One afternoon, a sleek electric car addresses him. The self-driving vehicle presents itself as a thinker, a scientist, and even a misunderstood entertainer. What began as a car wash turns into a surreal and deeply philosophical dialogue between man and machine—about identity, dignity, and the possibility of quitting, about being human and the looming fear of being replaced. As the actor recounts the abrupt end of his career, the car challenges him with the question: Can a machine give up too?
