Matthias is the perfect +1. Are you looking for the perfect son to impress? A conversation partner who knows the right wine and has read the right books? Or looking for someone to learn to argue with? Book Matthias. He plays everyone with ease. Except himself.

Matthias works for My Companion, an agency where you can hire him as a professional companion. Whether it's a caring son, a practice partner to argue with or a +1 for an evening of opera, he effortlessly plays any role you want. But the more responsive he is to the expectations of others, the further removed he becomes from himself. Behind his carefully orchestrated life grows an emptiness that is increasingly difficult to ignore. An identity crisis inevitably sets in.

In his black-comic feature debut, Bernhard Wenger painfully and wittily explores what happens when you completely mould yourself to the wishes of others. Peacock is an absurdist, confrontational film about losing yourself in a world that constantly demands something of you.
