action
Werner Baumschlager, a lovable but somewhat clumsy rascal and philanderer , is an Austrian UN officer stationed in the Middle East . Peace is finally returning to the Middle East, but nobody really knows what to do with it. Should there suddenly no longer be any need for UN blue helmets and should there be no more space for heroic national defenders and war profiteers ? A new situation that is unsettling for various parties and sometimes even undesirable. Therefore, one would rather return to the well-known pattern and look for a scapegoat for it . This somewhat strange Austrian is conveniently suited for this. Werner Baumschlager becomes the plaything of various interests. He is believed to be a dangerous agent because of his strange private activities . All sides persecute and use it to sabotage the peace that is unwelcome to them.

reception
Christiane Fasching said in the Tiroler Tageszeitung that the film was only partially funny, the production - like the plot and the main character - would get caught between the fronts and in parts would sink into flat coarseness. “As a cute, naive, Stipsits was known before - even director Sicherheitsitz doesn’t really elicit new pages from him.” Only the original version with subtitles would elicit a few unintentional laughs: “Austrian-English just sounds too funny.” Similar to the Upper Austrian news , the criticized the "banal abuse". The film is not a safe-fit film, the way one hopes, expects and is used to it, it would not culminate in raven-black, refined jokes, but in slapstick. The Kleine Zeitung wrote that the main character in the no man's land of the conflicting parties, like the film, was a little lost in the field between the genres. Partly satire, the events would slide again and again into slapstick up to coarse platitude. The Standard ruled that the best joke was worthless if told down uninspired. There would be a lack of timing and scenic accuracy, in the supporting roles there would be an exaggeration alarm, "tendency Villacher Fasching ". Stefan Grissemann wrote in his profile that the film was "a depressingly pointless undertaking that is unloaded in gross slapstick and faded gentlemen's evening dialogues". The sloppy synchronization, reminiscent of the German cinema trash of the 1970s, would finish off the staging.
Harald Sicherheitsitz said in the courier that he did not consider himself a comedy director, but would stage everyday tragedies that are scrutinized under the microscope of humor.
