Good Monsters

Fritzi is on a desperate mission to save her drug-addicted husband. To finance his rehab, Fritzi plans to rob her husband's dealer. This dealer, a small-time criminal burdened by his father's medical expenses, joins forces with Fritzi. They aim to swindle the big boss. A gripping story that unfolds over 24 tumultuous hours. As Fritzi navigates through a series of unforeseen events, including witnessing a murder and an unexpected romance, she confronts profound insights about love and salvation. The characters express their inner turmoil and existential questions through song, making GOOD MONSTERS a unique blend of intense drama and musical flair. The series poses the question, "Is love enough to save someone?" while exploring themes of desperation, moral ambiguity, and the lengths one will go for loved ones. It's a stylistic fusion reminiscent of "Trainspotting" and "La La Land," offering a fresh take on the musical genre. GOOD MONSTERS is an exploration of love's complexities, the choices we make, and the transformative power of music, all set against the backdrop of societal struggles and personal redemption.
