This October, GOETHE FILMS presents the exclusive Canadian premiere of the complete first season of acclaimed TV mini series “Bad Banks.” The German-Luxemburgish co-production set at the heart of Europe’s financial capitals premiered at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival 2018 and went on to win the Audience Award at the Kino Festival New York. Meet the characters & cast:
Thao (28) works relentlessly on being better, which includes battling constant pressure from her father, who came to Germany from Vietnam.
Thao is lonely and looking for love – mostly in a destructive
way. There’s something obsessive, desperate about her. That’s not lost on Jana, who knows how to exploit this need. Slowly but surely, Thao evolves from a rival to a loyal campaigner, a fighter who Jana is going to need in the battle against the overpowering Leblanc.
Her motto: "Be one of the guys.”
