action
Robert Günther is a macho and egoist as he says in the book. Nothing is too shabby for the contractor to take advantage of. He suppresses his wife Doris with psychotropic drugs, accidentally impregnates his lover, Beate Lenz, and puts a lot of work on his assistant Jenny. Even as he celebrates his 43rd birthday on the penthouse floor of his residential project built by his company to impress investors, he tries to mate his latest achievement, Maren van Stetten. Jenny catches him while Maren masturbates orally and lets his beloved Beate be thrown from the party. Since he himself fiddled his books in order to drive his company into bankruptcy, he then lets Jenny fire as a scapegoat. But that's enough for Jenny. With the idea of her son to use a voodoo doll , she reveals Roberts lies to Doris and Beate. All three decide to take revenge on him with the help of voodoo.
So they decide the joint operation Rohrfrei and curse him to impotence , honesty and failure. But they also intervene personally through minor acts of sabotage. Doris takes advantage of Robert's lactose intolerance , serves him normal milk, so that he has to break off a lecture and can no longer come from the toilet. Beate puts pressure on Robert's sensitive intervertebral disc so that he can only move with pain. After they have charged his credit card to the limit, he has to spend a night locked in the garage. When he was having a business lunch with the father of his newest lover, Klaus van Stetten, the three of them spied on him the next morning. They learn that he is ruining his company on purpose in order to be able to sell it to van Stetten for a 20 percent stake in his company. That would make Robert a made man and Doris out of business.
After a few more minor nasties, they manage to stop the business. He can only sell without participation. The three then dress up as cleaning ladies to steal the necessary evidence from Robert's office undercover. Now Jenny can also be rehabilitated and Robert can be convicted of the lie. But Beate made a mistake with the copier. Instead of securing evidence, she destroyed it with the paper shredder. And it gets even worse. Robert notices that the three are working together. He confesses his love to Beate and that he lied to her beforehand. He offers Jenny her old job again. And he plays the loving husband to his Doris. With that he breaks a dispute between the three of them, which makes him triumph. He takes revenge on them and tells Doris triumphantly how he managed to do all of this. But because the three were skeptical before, they record the conversation and can blackmail him with it. He should disappear from her life. He does it out of necessity.
Reviews
“The husband, the lover or the boss as a voodoo doll who can maltreat a woman with little needles. Many a woman would be happy about such an instrument. Comedy specialist and frequent filmmaker Thomas Nennstiel [...] staged a rather flat revenge comedy based on the template by Carolin Hecht [...] and Kathrin Toboll, which has nothing to do with reality, but entertains with fun scenes and dialogues. "
“The over-the-top TV posse entered the home straight with a surprisingly confident approach with high speed and a gripping team of women. Particularly praiseworthy: the cunning script by Carolin Hecht and Kathrin Toboll. [...] Pretty, coarse and funny gender fight "
