‘Generation Beziehungsunfähig’, or German for Generation Relationship Incapable, is the film adaptation of the same-titled book which was directed by Helena Hufnagel, who also wrote the screenplay together with Hilly Martinek. Appearing in the lead roles are Frederick Lau and Luise Heyer. MAX VON TREU photographed the actor and actress for the MAX cover story.
The film is about Micha who lives the life of a true bon vivant. He’s single, dates one woman after another, only to stop contacting them as soon as things get all too serious or he becomes bored. That only works for the full-time single until he meets his female counterpart Ghost. From then on, he finds himself on the flip-side of ‘diabolic’ dating. Micha, as confident as ever, still thinks he is doing everything right when he’s flirting with Ghost. But far from it – he’s being ghosted by her this time. After all, Ghost doesn’t have the slightest crush on a romantic like Micha…
‘Generation Beziehungsunfähig’ is a production by Pantaleon Films in co-production with Warner Bros Film Productions and Brainpool. Warner Bros Pictures planned to release the film in German movie theaters on March 25, 2021. ‘Generation Beziehungsunfähig’ was funded by Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, FFF Bayern, German Federal Film Fund (DFFF), German National Film Funding Institution FFA, and MDM.
Max von Treu is represented by Kathrin Hohberg.

About MAX VON TREU
It was at the tender age of six when he was given his first snapshot-camera that Max von Treu, born in Munich in 1979, started showing interest in photography. Things got a little more serious when he got his first proper camera at the age of 17. It was love at first sight and a never ending array of snap shots, taken during early travels around the world. After graduating in Munich, Max decided to move to London to study mixed media arts at the University of Westminster. His main focus was filmmaking at first and it was only after he finished his studies and while assisting various fashion photographers that he discovered his passion for fashion and portrait photography. His professional career as a fashion photographer began when he was 25. Max is currently based in Berlin and Munich shooting for clients around the world.
