Nix ist fix places seven longtime friends and three younger strangers inside a chalet in the Tyrolean mountains. Natalie Spinell has a useful chamber-piece setup: little space, plenty of people and disagreements that become personal quickly.
Juliane has opened the house for a weekend, but Alma, Tomek and Vince are already there and refuse to leave. The dispute about ownership exposes tensions within the older group as well as between the generations.
The film works best when it challenges both sides' certainty. Sometimes the arguments become caricatures, with dialogue sounding like theses from a panel discussion. The younger trio too often has to represent a worldview before becoming fully recognizable as people.
The ensemble keeps the story moving. Julia Koschitz combines pride and vulnerability, while the other friends remain distinct rather than becoming variations on one character. The chalet becomes a pressure chamber where a small remark can uncover years of suppressed disagreement.
For me, the friendship is more interesting than the debate about capitalism. A shared past does not guarantee a shared present. The film packs too many issues into 88 minutes, and some developments are visibly constructed, but its energy and cast carry it. Not every argument lands; enough of the friction does. My rating is 7 out of 10.
