Confessions of Felix Krull

Felix Krull (Jannis Niewöhner) is a handsome young man from a modest family, and he has worked out early that charm can be used like a skeleton key. His chance comes as an elevator attendant in a luxury hotel, where wealthy guests and a nobleman named Louis de Venosta (David Kross) start to notice him. Detlev Buck adapts Thomas Mann's unfinished novel, and Felix carries on the climb one borrowed manner at a time.
