Prepared by Movies Dock Editorial

Billie follows best friends Nina and Angie after a simple request for €300 takes a chaotic turn at the bank where Nina’s husband works. Mistaken for gangsters, the pair must deal with an escalating situation involving family, money and an institution that refuses to take them seriously.

Billie is a 2026 German comedy-drama directed and written by Sheri Hagen. The film centers on Nina and Angie, two close friends whose attempt to solve a practical family problem quickly becomes far more serious than expected.

What begins as a request for a small loan develops into a bank crisis, with the women trapped inside and wrongly identified as criminals. The premise places friendship, family pressure and social misunderstanding at the heart of the story.

Story without spoilers

Nina and Angie have supported each other through difficult circumstances. When Angie’s teenage daughter, Rahel, needs €300 for a school trip, the friends go to the bank where Nina’s husband, Marc, works to ask for help.

Marc rejects the request harshly, provoking Angie and sending the situation out of control. Before long, Nina and Angie are stuck inside the bank and mistaken for gangsters. The film follows the consequences of that misunderstanding as their ordinary financial problem becomes an unexpected confrontation.

What to expect

Billie combines comedy and drama around a high-pressure bank situation. Its central setup offers room for awkward misunderstandings, escalating tension and the contrast between a modest request and the outsized consequences that follow.

The story also keeps personal relationships in focus, particularly the friendship between Nina and Angie and the connection between Angie and Rahel. The supplied premise points to a character-driven film built around social pressure, family needs and a rapidly changing situation.
