Überstar

A star, his bodyguard and his driver.
An employer and his two employees.
A madman and his victims.
A nightmare.

Überstar is an unclassifiable "disturbing comedy" bordering on the fantastic that will confuse the audience by taking them where they don't expect to go.

Richard Sammel plays a variation of himself here. The German-born actor known for his Nazi and psychopathic characters as in Inglorious Basterds, The Strain or OSS 117 Le Caire nid d'espions is having fun with his own image. He is the "star" with all known excesses – megalomaniacal, contemptuous, manipulative – peppering the onscreen version of himself with all the characteristics of the SS and vampires he embodied in the past.

He faces two men at his service who do not know how to deal with him and with whom the audience will be able to identify without difficulty.
