Abendbrot is a German short film comedy from 1996 with Otto Sander and Georgi Miladinov in the leading roles.

action

The police officer Hubert Schöning does not have the heart to lock an illegally entered Bulgarian in his cell overnight and instead takes him home for dinner. The initial skepticism of his wife, as well as the shyness of the stranger, give way to a general cheerfulness in this “typically German supper”, which can do without a common language. But Schöning's colleagues do not want to tolerate so much humanity: They storm into the apartment like a raid in order to get the prisoners under police control again - which succeeds effortlessly, since there is no direct resistance to them. Hubert's mischievously smiling face in the long final shot tells something different. It tells of a victory that is far from violence and open resistance, which has much more to do with humanity and zest for life: this knowing smile celebrates the victory of hospitality over the dull dictate of inhuman bureaucratism .
