Chabos starts in Cologne: Nostalgietrip in the 2000s with Peppi!

The Cologne cinema world experienced an exciting climax on Monday evening with the premiere of the new ZDF series "Chabos", which was presented at the "serial camp" festival in the Cinenova cinema. This dramedy, which plays in the nineties, takes the audience into a time full of nostalgia and personal challenges.

The main character in "Chabos" is Peppi, a 36-year-old man who is embodied by Johannes Kienast. The story begins with Peppi not being invited to his own class reunion. This makes him travel into the past - specifically back to 2006. There he is confronted with his younger self and has to face the shards of his memories while trying to find out what went wrong. This not only shakes his self -image, but also his view of friendships and family relationships.

nostalgia and search for identity

"Chabos" addresses the universal search for meaning and identity. Particularly interesting: Production offers flashbacks that are shown by talented young actors. In supporting roles, established actors such as Peter Schneider, David Schütter and Anke Engelke can be seen, with Engelke taking on the role of Peppi's mother. "It is important to grasp the dynamics between parents and children," says the actress and emphasizes how important these relationships are for the development of the protagonist.

The series illuminates the time before smartphones determined everyday life. It captures the lifestyle of the early 2000s-a time characterized by clique experiences, first love and the typical youth sins that each of us experienced in any way. From the first mention of the term "chabos", which in this context means "boy" and was spread in the Ruhr area, a wide range of experiences is covered until the experiences of the clique.

production and available

produced "Chabos" by BBC Studios Germany on behalf of ZDF, whereby the first broadcast of the eight episodes for August is planned in the ZDF media library and on ZDFneo. This unconventional structure with 40% of the action in the present and 60% in the past ensures a fresh look at the challenges of growing up and the questions that all concern us.

With her funny, but also thoughtful approach, "Chabos" offers an exciting experience that appeals to both the younger and older spectators. Whether you have experienced the nineties yourself or just looking for a good bit of entertainment - this series has potential to hit the nerve of the time.
