action
The unemployed Munich chimney sweeper Hick has an illegitimate child, Su, with the sullen monastery sister. Su admires her father and dreams of a life together in Tibet . After abolishing the church tax, lots of beer and symbolic separation from his wife, Hick can finally “free the earth from himself”: He is struck by lightning on the Viktualienmarkt and Su is stabbed to death by her jealous mother.
Shortly thereafter, both were reborn in Tibet in 1662 and found love for one another through Buddhist enlightenment and contemplation.
criticism
The lexicon of the international film ruled that the film was “inspired by neo-religious Buddhism” and mixed “clever and banal, funny and foolish”. Overall, he is "less cynical than earlier Achternbusch works". The Berlinale's program read: "In a surrealist manner, Achternberg criticizes Catholicism and the growing trend in Tibet."
