Synopsis

Matthias is a master of his profession. Do you need a Ňcultured boyfriendÓ to impress your friends? A Ňperfect sonÓ to influence your business partnersŐ opinion of you? Or maybe just a sparring partner to rehearse an argument? Whatever it is, just rent Matthias! While he excels at pretending to be someone else every day, just being himself is the real challenge. In a corrosive comedy, Peacock captures with biting humour, the essence of human relationships.
