action

The unemployed Jupp is up to his neck, especially since he also has to look after his little daughter. On a TV evening with her, she looks at a book about airships and, among other things, about the accident involving the LZ 129 , the Hindenburg in Lakehurst. They speculate how rich the man who took the photo may have become. That gives Jupp the idea of ​​staging something similar so that he is the only one to press the shutter release on his camera at the right moment. When trying to get explosives , however, he arouses the interest of the underworld, which also smells quick money.

The entire film and especially the final scene do not lack a certain anarchism . The inevitable association in this regard, which results from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in the USA , may be the reason why Sönke Wortmann's film has not been released on DVD or shown on television to this day.
