LARISSA SIRAH HERDEN STARS IN “KING OF STONKS” AT THE MUNICH FILM FESTIVAL

KING OF STONKS” PREMIERES AT THE MUNICH FILM FESTIVAL

A deliciously dark satire about narcissism and double standards in the financial world.

Felix Armand is aiming for the top — he wants to become CEO of Europe’s largest fintech company. But as the company prepares to go public, everything starts to unravel: money laundering, investor fraud, internet porn. While Felix scrambles to keep things under control, his megalomaniac boss Magnus basks in the spotlight. And to complicate matters, Felix falls in love with the one woman he should absolutely avoid: short-seller Sheila Williams.
