With his critically acclaimed turn as "Toni Hamady" in 4 Blocks officially behind him, Kida Khodr Ramadan is on the hunt for his next big role. When the projects he's offered don't align with his vision for his career, Kida is at a loss, until unexpected praise from Ricky Gervais provides an opportunity to adapt his television series Extras. Though thrilled about the opportunity, Kida faces one huge obstacle: Germany isn't exactly known for its world-renowned stars - the fundamental premise of the British sitcom - or for its humor. Hilariously meta and highly original, German Genius goes behind the scenes and into the psyche of an actor hoping to make an indelible stamp on his beloved industry.
