Further Information

We focus on the supremely fancy and gated pig community of Lichtenschwein and their everyday struggle of not struggling at all. We join the Lobster family in endless charities for the ones that absolutely don´t need it and we get the taste of the freshly made up teenage problems born from dying of boredom. We witness the clash of take­-no-prisoners-­die­-hard­-casino­-capitalist-­mayhem-­banking-state-sponsored-neo-liberalism versus old-school-dr.evil-black-and-white-conservatism on a personal level. We watch how the Lobsterfamily encounter outside threats of genuine animal care, outdated fashion items, human rights, kebabdealers, vegans, uncorruptable officials, grassroot-democratic influences and the eternal search for brand new personal petty problems. All of them are desperately needed to fullfill the feeling that you are actually breathing since the superhigh lifestyle barely makes you feel alive in the waves of tax free money pouring in. Growing up in all this is Vesuvius Lobster, the young piglet that tries to see sense in this glamorous mad world of stressful chill where nothing is a crime if you have the right accountant. The only one who really spends time with him is his dark age conservative uncle that has a secret agenda with his upbringing.

We are looking for your help to make the Lobsters of Lichtenschwein come alive.

Consept

Every creature with the necessary means naturally seeks balance in life. Be it herbal tea, nice walks in nature, kundalini yoga, proper sleep and basically getting along with its surroundings. The Lobster family does not. They breed from the prosperous part of the imbalance. We know the stories about being on the low income end of the imbalance and the Lobster story is not that fairytale. This is the nutted off-balance lifestory of plenty and total lack of spiritual meaning to existence. They find the purpose of life through the wisdom of the Gogetter-Trendsetters and the Nu-Money-Millionaires. The price tag is the only parameter of what is good or bad.

Storyline

Every episode has its own small story, but the whole serie brings us the childhood development of Vesuvius, the young piglet of the Lobster family. He is spoiled but still the most sane of all the Lobsters. But it actually doesn´t take much sanity to accomplish that. He is put under constant authority and judgement by his cotton surroundings of glittering nothingness. In each episode he encounters new experiences and nervous breakdowns that will finally allow him to grow up and find his place in the world.

Characters

Vesuvius is the neglected, materially spoiled and troubled eleven year old cotton raised high class kid. He regularly rebels against all the norms, solely to get attention from his busy father. But he will have claimed Islam, homosexuality, vegan, body building, activist, jigiridoo and river-dancing before his father even bothers looking up a second from the notes of NASDAQ.

The Nu-Money-Minks

If it does not make money it does not make sense and surely does not deserve respect. These are the all-in-financial-gangsters with the best lawyers, the best accountants and the best lifestyle advicers. Jordan Belfort is God. Beside that nothing is holy to them but the constant search for new entertainment and fashion fads that cost enough to count as worthy on the altar of endless cash.

The Posh Hogs

They are the flock that decide what the Lobsters should do with all the taxfree money available to them in unnatural amounts. For ridiculous amounts of currency these go-getter-trendsetters will serve them undodgeable ideas of the most current music, clothing, sport, movies, colours, shoes, drugs, sex and the titles of necessary litterature for namedropping.

The others

That is everything that the Lobsters don´t understand, and hasn´t been introduced to them through their classic channels of truth. If the The Nu-Money-Minks and The Posh Hogs haven´t served a plate of certain things to the Lobsters it is classified as "something else". It´s always best to stay clear of such things. Ignorance is bliss. Beside, basically everybody is out to get you, stay clear of everybody.
