Matthias works for My Companion, an agency where you can hire him as professional company. Whether you need a caring son, a sparring partner for arguments, or a plus-one for an evening at the opera, he effortlessly slips into any desired role. But the better he caters to the expectations of others, the further he drifts from himself. Behind his carefully orchestrated life, an emptiness grows that becomes harder and harder to ignore. An identity crisis becomes inevitable.
In his darkly comic feature debut, Bernhard Wenger explores, with both painful precision and wit, what happens when you fully mold yourself to the desires of others. Peacock is an absurdist, confrontational film about losing yourself in a world that’s constantly demanding something from you.
