Club Las Piranjas is a German television comedy from 1995 with Hape Kerkeling and Angelika Milster in the leading roles. It is a parody of the vacation in a vacation club. The film is a production of the Norddeutscher Rundfunk .
action
“Club Las Piranjas” is a satire on the completely organized all-inclusive club vacation .
A “promising” promotional video from Club Las Piranjas attracts a wide variety of characters from Germany to the holiday complex of the same name, which is located in an unspecified “southern-alien” -speaking latitude far from any civilization . The shooting took place in Hurghada / Egypt in the Hotel Sea Horse.
Edwin (Hape Kerkeling) and Biggi Oxford (Angelika Milster) are the club's two animators and as such are responsible for organizing the holiday.
The Schadletzki family, d. H. the gas station attendant Karl-Heinz Schadletzki (Michael Brandner) along with his wife Hildegard (Katharina Schubert) and son Oliver (Christoph Ortmann) plan to spend the summer vacation without grandma Schadletzki (Tana Schanzara) and her dog Uschi. Grandma loses the boxer Uschi on arrival at the airport and lets the announcer at the airport (Wilhelm Wieben) call him unsuccessfully because the dog has already smuggled himself on board as a stowaway.
A mixed German travel group, consisting of the Schadletzki families, the North Hessian pensioner Herta Ludwig (Dorothea Walda) ("My Home is in Kassel") as well as the department manager Margot Kemper (Hildegard Krekel) traveling alone and the branch manager Kurt Becker (Horst Krause), flies south to spend some sunny days in the club "Las Piranjas".
After you have landed somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the holiday-ready package tourists are noisily received by the two jolly animators Biggi and Edwin. The club, which you can finally reach at night after a long bus ride through a moon-like landscape ("the green lung of the south"), looks like a kind of maximum security prison, as far as you can see it in the glaring light of the headlights on the barbed wire fence a totalitarian state established on a military training area.
Immediately after the late arrival at the club, the hungry guests will be greeted by the head of the club, Dr. Renate Wenger (Judy Winter) announced that the kitchen was closed. Furthermore, all guests must hand in their valuables and IDs at the reception and receive the “club uniform” as well as the “Piranjataler” as in-house currency.
During the course of the film, guests are faced with various problems, such as: B. a defective swimming pool, breakfast on time and after division into food groups, defective toilet flushing and double occupied rooms. However, this turned out to be correct, as there was the booking option “single as double”. This means that two same-sex single travelers share a common double room. While Biggi and Edwin ignore or gloss over these problems, the club boss Dr. Wenger, who obviously has a drinking problem , is not a real contact person for the guests.
Furthermore, there is a compulsory participation for the club events (collective rubbish collection on the beach - keyword "Aktion clean beach", Brennball to get to know), Greek and later Belgian or Persian night - this linguistic confusion comes from the alcohol-related babbling of Dr. Wenger), and Edwin and Biggi are constantly trying to keep the guests together and entertain.
The joint excursion “Land and People”, also called “Sand and People”, ends in the middle of a desolate ruin in the desert.
At some point some of the guests have reached the limit of what is reasonable; the first think of escape, which is successfully thwarted by the boss and her two entertainers as well as by the camp-like security and the remote location of the hotel.
The film ends in the plane that flies the passengers home and is personally controlled by Edwin and Biggi.
Reviews
"Satire on the stress of the prescribed and regulated-happy vacation, full of situations that most of them have already suffered in one way or another."
Edwin and Biggi
During the film you also learn that while Biggi was a tour guide, a pensioner from Wattenscheid , who later turned out to be an acquaintance of Herta Ludwig, fell into a crater on Vesuvius ( “They couldn't prove anything to me” ).
Edwin has already worked with Dr. Wenger worked as a tour guide in a club hotel in Kenya , while his guests Heinz and Gisela Adamek from Gelsenkirchen disappeared. He assumes insurance fraud . You also learn that Edwin has a child with Dr. Wenger has that Dr. Wenger is called - Dr. Bjorn Wenger. It is eight years old and lives in Gelsenkirchen.
A couple is also lost during this trip. The daughter Simone (about the same age as Oliver) flies back to Germany alone.
