The youthful pranks of the boy Karl is a German feature film from 1977, the focus of which is the young Karl Valentin . Directed by Franz Seitz .
action
In the style of the Ludwig Thoma film adaptations of the 1960s, episodes are told from the life of the young Karl Valentin when he was training as a carpenter's apprentice . Numerous well-known quotes from the Bavarian folk actor and comedian are used. The actual plot only serves as a framework for Valentine's skits, numbers and texts.
The starting point is the year 1897. In Munich , a fortune teller predicts a future as a comedian for 15-year-old Karl Fey when she looks into the glass ball. Father Fey is strictly against it and wants his boy to learn something "decent". But this prediction is just right for young Karl, he always has nonsense in his head. He quickly recognized his talent for the subtle and understood how to create satire from his observations of everyday life. Already at a young age, Fey, alias Valentin, discovered his gift for making everyday things seem absurd and comical.
Karl's appearance in the church causes bitter complaints from the chaplain to Karl's Saxon mother. Then the young Valentin first defaces the hairdresser's dog, then his specialty Schorsch (journeyman hairdresser) the Rued himself. With a twin, Karl throws a bullet in the back of the head of the bailiff, and he smears the bank manager's face with leaked ink when Karl and his father asks for a required loan. As a first-class language acrobat, Karl Valentin Fey confused his old teacher during a school lesson when the word “foreign” was at stake, and when Kaiser Wilhelm II drove through Munich in an open carriage at the side of the Bavarian Prince Regent, he shot at the German head of state with white sausages . After all, the boy Karl deliberately plays wrongly in the wind orchestra, causes a lot of confusion with his involvement with the volunteer fire brigade and uses a trick to steal 600 marks from the pharmacist.
