action
The friends Barbara and Katja kidnap the Telekom boss Harald Winter into a remote holiday house. Katja's friend Stefan joins them there. Together they demand that the old yellow telephone booths be put back up. The kidnapped man, who was initially indignant about the unprofessional nature of the whole operation, reluctantly found pleasure in the situation after a failed attempt to escape. He befriends the kidnappers. The blackmailed company seems to bow to the demand. But while the first yellow telephone booths are being set up, Korn, an eloquent man on behalf of Telekom, sneaks around the idyllic hiding place. When they discover that weapons have been slipped into them unnoticed, the only way out for the nonviolent kidnappers is to flee, which the kidnapper finally joins.
Reviews

"An oasis of happiness in German cinema" (dpa)
"Easily the most happy German comedy this year and many others." (Tz, Munich)
"As if Howard Hawks had made a film in deep Schleswig-Holstein." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
"A film full of surprises, alternating between striking comedy and serious discourse" (emotion)
"The special twist of the film: that it celebrates unprofessionalism with enormous adeptness" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung)
"The directors belonging to the" Cologne Group "show the wailing German film industry what a rake is." (Intro)
"Big cinema with small resources that arouses hope for further low-budget liberation strikes" (specifically)
