Why does everyone want to take part in the Rottweiler Narrensprung, even though the costumes are expensive, the wooden masks uncomfortable and the jesters' rules extremely strict? Can Swabian language tests and video surveillance save the famous Rottweiler Fasnacht from the onslaught of out-of-town jesters? Fool master Christoph has his doubts. But under no circumstances are women allowed to dress up as horses. Filmmakers Sigrun Köhler and Wiltrud Baier (Böller und Brot) spent over three years filming in Rottweil. With their humorous and affectionate view, they take the viewer into an unknown world: a great archaic celebration of life and death in the middle of highly industrialized Germany.
Portrait of Sigrun Köhler's 100-year-old grandfather, who talks about his daily life, medication, and houseflies on his farm.
Documentary about Jimmy Carl Black, the legendary drummer of Frank Zappa’s “Mothers of Invention”. He later lived in a small Bavarian village. The filmmakers followed his last two years of living and drumming and made a film about sex, drugs, Rock'n'Roll and no old age support.
With precisely articulated turns of phrase, Sibylle Berg - celebrated novelist, playwright and columnist known for her provocations and the sharpness of her comments - takes the film's two directors on an anecdotal and humorous foray through her eventful life.
In Gammesfeld there is a church, an EDEKA store, two soccer fields, a gravel factory, and Germany's only bank without a computer. A film about the world, the modern pig, about getting married and, above all, about money.
