Old White Man
Logline
When advertising manager Heinz Hellmich, early 50s, sets out to prove he’s no “old white man,” his carefully orchestrated dinner party turns into a minefield of political correctness, awkward revelations, and unexpected chaos.
Synopsis
Advertising manager Heinz Hellmich is a man on a mission: to shed his image as an "old white man" and finally secure the promotion of his dreams. When his progressive boss and diverse colleagues accept his invitation to an intimate dinner at his home, Heinz sees it as the perfect opportunity to showcase his wokeness. But as the evening unfolds, Heinz stumbles from one cringe-worthy embarrassment to the next, while his family’s carefully curated facade begins to crack. With unexpected guests arriving and the night spiraling out of control, the dinner table becomes a battleground of political correctness, clashing worldviews, and comedic chaos.
