Florian David Fitz Says Therapy Has Been on His Mind for 20 Years as He Promotes No Hit Wonder

He says the film treats depression seriously without pretending music is a simple fix.

Overview

  • Fitz stars as Daniel Nowak, a former hit musician who lands in a psychiatric clinic in the new film No Hit Wonder.
  • Nora Tschirner plays Lissi Waldstett, a happiness researcher who asks Daniel to use music to give a group of depressed people hope.
  • Fitz describes the movie as a comedy that engages with loneliness and depression without offering pat resolutions.
  • He says his long consideration of therapy reflects a desire to examine behavior patterns rather than a struggle with severe depression.
  • To stay balanced, he favors movement, nature, distance from celebrity culture, regular exercise, less social media, and he imagines communal living with friends in old age instead of marriage or a care home.
