Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Isi & Ossi is a 2020 film from Germany directed by Oliver Kienle.It's a romantic comedy. Isabelle aka "Isi" is a child of wealth and privilege, daughter of a filthy rich family that lives in Heidelberg. She is an indifferent student but her parents essentially bribed her school to give her grades good enough to get her into law school. However, Isi doesn't want to go to law school, and in fact has dreams of becoming a chef.Oskar aka "Ossi" lives with his mother Betty in a tiny apartment in the more working-class town of Mannheim. Oskar's family is much poorer; his mother owns a gas station but went deep in debt to buy it and can't pay the loan or the taxes. Oskar's wacky grandpa is a petty criminal who has been in jail for most of the past 14 years. Oskar has hopes of becoming a boxer but, before he can advance to the professional ranks, has to come up with €8000 to stage a bout.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Isi's parents, who control the purse strings, categorically refuse to pay to send her to cooking school in America. So she decides to earn the money herself and gets a job in a fast food restaurant. There she meets Ossi, and they eventually hit on a scheme: they will pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, which should get her parents to eventually fork over Isi's trust fund as a means of ending the fake romance, which will allow her to go to America and also pay to stage Ossi's bout.Naturally, romantic sparks fly for real.

Your Mom: Grandpa, who reacts to being dissed by the other rapper in the contest by saying "I fucked your granny in the time of Bertolt Brecht!" (All the young people have no clue who Bertolt Brecht was.)

The Beard: The initial idea. Ossi will pretend to be Isi's boyfriend, and hopefully her parents, faced with the prospect of their daughter dating a roughneck boxer, will give in and hand over her trust fund so she can go to America.

Meaningful Name
 Isi & Ossi / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: "Ossi", a German nickname for "Oskar", is also German slang for people who come from what was once East Germany. Since eastern Germany to this day is poorer with an economy that lags behind the former West Germany, there's obvious subtext to this Uptown Girl, Wrong Side of the Tracks romcom.

Stupid Crooks: Grandpa went to prison some years ago because he tried to hold up a jewelry store, but forgot to bring a bag to carry the loot. At some point he got released, but went back to jail after only a week when he tried to rob a bank but wound up robbing a post office by default.
