action

Hage, the Holy Spirit, has lived in human form on earth for more than 2,000 years and sells church supplies (flavored hosts, holy water concentrate, bleeding Madonnas). On December 24th, Hage came home from work, where he was having dinner with his housekeeper, Mrs. Holacek, when there was a knock. In front of the door is Christl, Jesus Christ, who brings Hage the news that Papa ( God ) is planning the Apocalypse for December 31st. Hage, however, is in the midst of the preparations for his musical “Holy Spirit Megastar” in his friend Friedl's nightclub “Beverly Hills”, which is to be premiered on New Year's Eve. Since Hage is still not granted a veto right as part of the Trinity , he shows Christl how beautiful life can be. Christl gets to know the main actress of the musical, Mona. Enthusiastic about her, Christl willingly takes on a role in the musical. After a long night, Christl Hage is supposed to drive home and runs over Mona. Hage wants to make the dead disappear until it occurs to him that, according to the Bible , Christl can raise the dead again, just as he had already resurrected Lazarus (which Christl cannot remember).

Friedl, however, does not leave the disappearance of Mona - his main attraction - in peace, so he drives to Hage's house. After a short conversation with Ms. Holacek, she has to drive him home because he got his car stuck in the snow. Mrs. Holacek helps Friedl in his establishment and the two slowly get closer. Friedl then sends a subordinate to look for Hage. The latter had his damaged car towed by the ÖAMTC to a hotel and billeted there so that Christl can wake Mona again.

The next day Friedl found out where he was staying at von Hage's house through a conversation with the ÖAMTC. Hage went to a hospital with Christl, where he was supposed to work the miracle of healing the sick. Hage pays a woman present to trick Christl into believing that he can work miracles. On the way to the hotel, the two see Friedl coming out of the same, where he carelessly catapulted Mona from the balcony into a bush. Friedl assumes to have killed Mona.

After Christl recognizes the bus driver as his "patient" on the way to Hage, they part ways and Christl finds a place with Pastor Erdinger, whom he asks about resurrection. Meanwhile, Friedl and Mrs. Holacek spend the night together and Friedl wants to face the police in the morning about Mona's death. Before that, Christl reached Hage's house, where Christl woke Mona and she fled to the next street out of fear and was accidentally run over there again by Friedl. Christl wants to talk to his papa with Hage, since he is now against the apocalypse too. After they both come back, they bring Mona back to life in front of Friedl and Mrs. Holacek. The next day the musical is premiered and Papa is also sitting in the nightclub, and Friedl tells him that he is a new person because Mona has been awakened. As a punishment for the prevented apocalypse, Hage is transformed into a dove, which Friedl kills as a dove hater and thus triggers the apocalypse.

In the world that will be recreated in ten days, Christl and Mona are the first people and meet Hage in human form. Mona is pregnant; it is already the third child. They already have a daughter and a son. She was christened Frau Holacek, the son is called Friedl, as the parents believe that the two were friends in a previous life. The off-screen child's voice telling the story is the daughter.

Reviews

The film did not go down well with some German critics. Spiegel Online criticizes the rather flat gags and says: “The jokes [...] are so old that they are almost museum value again. It's understandable that the work was pulled out of the Christmas business. ”In Austria, on the other hand, the Kleine Zeitung wrote :“ 3-fold is exactly what you expect from it: shallow popcorn cinema - only contrary to these [sic!] Expectations, surprisingly funny. "In the Kronen Zeitung it was said:" Between gaudy, shallow hoppalas and weird situation comedy, a kind of madness gallops here, which suggests the suspicion of deep inhalation of hallucinogenic substances. "

On January 3, 2015, the priest and moral theologian Josef Spindelböck filed a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office in Vienna against the repeated performance on ORF.

Awards
