action

The chocolatier Karl Sailer, who works in a Hamburg confectionery factory, loses his job after showing his daughter Isi and her classmates the company because the company has been sold and his job has been rationalized. Unfortunately, his wife Christa gets caught up with her superior Dr. Tendrils to each other and in her excitement quit her job as a midwife in a clinic because she does not agree with the doctor's approach. Ranke just seems to have been waiting to get rid of the unpleasant colleague and immediately accepts the resignation. Karl reproaches his wife for this.

Karl Sailer's proposal from his former master Alois Markreiter, who runs a chocolate factory in Garmisch, is just right. Karl, who was once his best apprentice, is supposed to create a regional specialty from the Werdenfelser Land, with which Markreiter wants to take part and win in a highly endowed competition. However, the Sailers have other problems to contend with. Since they are in arrears with the installment payments for their newly moved house in Hamburg, the bank announces a foreclosure auction. Karl receives an "immoral offer" from his old friend Reinhold Bolz, which could immediately help him in his current financial situation. Bolz wants him to hold back in his new job because he wants to win the lucrative competition at any price and, if he agrees, offers Karl half of the prize money of € 50,000. After a brief hesitation and a conversation with his wife, however, he cancels Bolz and points out that he has always been incorruptible and that he wants to stay that way.

In order to avoid the foreclosure auction, the family, which includes Isi and their son Heiko, sells their house on their own and relocates to Bavaria, where Karl's parents and his sister Anni, his brother-in-law Gustl and their daughter Laura move to the family's own Living yard. The new beginning is, however, a burden, as Karl’s father has still not forgiven his son for having laid the family property to rubble as a teenager. Christa, on the other hand, observes with some suspicion how well her husband still gets on with his childhood sweetheart Maria, especially since she bursts into an encounter between the two that almost led to a kiss. The misunderstanding is quickly cleared, however, and Karl is now on fire to create a specialty for the competition. Isi gives him an idea for the name. But then Karl’s father falls from the roof while working and finally the long overdue discussion between father and son takes place and Karl’s father asks his forgiveness for his hard-hearted demeanor over so many years.

The competition is imminent, Karl has his recipe in his head, but it does not yet work in practice. In the middle of his work, his brother-in-law Gustl also snows and tells him what really happened that night and that he caused the fire. Karl thinks that it is no longer of any use to anyone admitting their guilt, the truth will only hurt now, the debt has been paid - by both of you.

The day of the “Werdenfelsen Delicatessen Competition” has dawned. At the last moment, so to speak, Karl managed to finish his specialties. The result of the competition is unanimous, Karl and Markreiter GmbH win the competition with their “Garmischer Bergspitzen”. Reinhold Bolz, who had secretly got the recipe from Karl that he had originally planned, draws the short straw. Karl's parents have also come; His father proudly hugs him and says he is a real sailor after all. Karl also gets a reasonable raise and Christa is needed as a midwife for the second time.

criticism

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave the worst rating by pointing their thumbs down and only having the word “ouch” left for the film. The film service ruled: "(TV) Heimatfilm that strives to create atmosphere with sufficiently familiar elements."

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv gave three out of six possible stars, stated that the film was entertaining and wrote: “Unemployment, family conflicts, new perspectives at home. For 'Garmischer Bergspitzen', the author duo Kummeth created a not indigestible blend of Heimatfilm, dramolet and everyday history. In the field-forest-meadow fairy tale, everything comes as it has to, but the path does not go through such a deep valley of the trivial. "Tittelbach said, Garmischer Bergspitzen" looks "somewhat today". The "politics of omissions, what can be seen in a scene and what is not", gives "the TV drama a relatively modern look". And that is "entirely in the spirit and playing style of Timothy Peach & Valerie Niehaus, which one is not reluctant to watch".

Marco Croner fromquotemeter.de compared the film with the homeland film Die Hüttenwirtin and said: “Where 'Die Hüttenwirtin' appears simple, loosely knitted, yes, almost childlike, 'Garmischer Bergspitzen' comes across as complex, well-structured and serious. Every now and then you fall over your own feet, but overall it's a worth seeing mix of Heimatfilm, drama and everyday story. ”“ Solid work ”is provided by“ all the actors involved, above all the main actor Timothy Peach, who is also in the emotional - and best - scenes of the film can shine ”. Except for the character drawing of the 15-year-old son of the Sailers played by Jannik Schümann, "the very dense script by Eva and Horst Kummeth [...] leaves nothing to be desired".
