Roland Düringer : Mick Praller |
The Gipfelzipfler is a ten-part Austrian comedy series. The plot of the series, which started on April 1, 2010 on ORF 1, runs in real time , which Günther Paal points out in a humorous way at the beginning of each episode. Paal's description of how one can imagine the process in real time varies a little with each episode; this is a running gag of the series.
The main roles are played by Roland Düringer and Christian Tramitz .
action
The successful unsuccessful rock musician Mick Praller and the vainly failing commercial jingling singer Frank Rensing would never have met each other in their lives. But then the half-silly manager Damir gives his problem child Frank an appearance on the legendary TV show “Die Musikantenheimat” and the emergency solution “Mick” as a playback partner. Frank urgently needs the performance fee, while Mick hopes that his son Pauli will see him on TV and that he will be proud of his father. Five hours before their performance, the two folk music underdogs meet for the first time in the backstage area of the Musikantenheimat. There they also find out that they have been announced as “Die Gipfelzipfler” - which they absolutely don't like. But that should be her smallest problem this evening.
As the individual episodes progress, the prospect of a successful performance becomes increasingly hopeless. First of all, they learn that they have no rights to the song "Kleine Liebelei", with which they should actually appear. They decide to write a new song and record it until the show. Inspired by a musical policeman, they also find a melody for this and steal the cast from a little boy with a broken arm in order to compose a song text from the wishes for recovery. Despite rehearsals in the television studio and constant interruptions, they finally manage to record their song "Gute Besserung" with the help of Mick's laptop. But when they try to burn it to a CD, the laptop is destroyed. In the end, the summit poppers stand in front of the television cameras without a song and play Paganini's Cantabile for guitar and violin. For this performance, they are rewarded with thunderous applause.
