            The dark comedy "Down there in Heaven" tells the story of six men who meet at a surprise party. They could not be more different in all aspects ranging from age to faith. Even though they've met before, none of them knows who organized the party, because each of their invitations was signed by a different name. The door closes behind them and they are locked in. How and if they come out again, remains a mystery.
A note left behind reveals that they are part of a therapeutic intervention and have to complete tasks before they can regain their freedom. The execution or denial of the tasks is monitored by a camera. Resistance seems pointless, and the search for each of their individual identity and position in the group but also in today's society begins. Reluctantly, they surrender to their destiny and embark on a journey to explore their own selves.
The narrowness of the room and the variety of lifestyles, ranging from startup CEO to homeless, cause conflicts over and over again.
Above all, wide-ranging ideas of masculinity clash. Is a man a testosterone-driven monster or a slave to the national historical construct of masculinity?
All six men gradually break down and reach the limits of their transparency. But that is precisely what the intervention is set up for. The men have to completely open up to have a chance at freedom. The question of whether they find the courage remains open until the end.
Director's Notes: Felix Schaefer follows an ancient Indian philosophy that every story should accomplish 3 things: Educate the intellectuals, explain God, and most importantly entertain the drunk. The director also believes that film has the responsibility to be a mirror for society.
