From the beginning the Lombardi-Clan had the intent of adapting a real story to film with DER LETZTE FLUG (THE LAST FLIGHT) as its result. “Please come to 8 Richter Stein Street. Someone tried to climb onto the balcony and fell. “ The drama of this story is given away at the very beginning of the film. In an apartment building in Nuremberg, Germany, a night amongst four young adults has just begun.

Talk, laughter, and a few intravenous shots to escape and fly towards another place. But one amongst them seems to have not returned from his trip. The jury speaks: His heart is no longer beating, the dose seems to have been fatal. What are they to do now? How should they get rid of the body? A solution is found, make him fly, but the landing turns out to be not so soft for those left behind.

According to the film-makers they chose this story because it was a perfect illustration of what can happen at any time in any big city. They have adapted it as a black comedy that brings chills up one’s spine.
