action

The eponymous Harri Pinter is a 47-year-old former ice hockey star . His best times, in which he was cheered by his fans and the women adored him, is now behind him. But despite the receding hairline and a small swimming ring on his stomach, he is still very confident of himself and his appearance. In the 1980s, as a dreaded cleaner, he won the championship title with the Klagenfurt ice hockey club KAC under the name “Drecksau” , a success that the somewhat neglected youth coach likes to warm up over and over again over a beer with his buddies in the dim bars.

Today, as a driving school teacher, he pushes a calm ball and is of the opinion that nothing better than a relationship with him could have happened to his long-term friend Ines Pontiller. But when he catches Ines flagranti with her university professor, the Watzlawick researcher Herwig Pansi , he falls into a midlife crisis and his worldview is shaken.

He trains the U12 team with a lot of passion and heart and soul. After a body check of one of his protégés, he is accused of being too tough. He is then suspended as a coach, is banned from the stadium and thus loses his last stop. In the crisis he also has to recognize that his so-called friends, the former KAC players Norbert Flasch and Ken Meyers, are not as close to him as he had previously believed. Only the long-term student and editor of the KAC fan newspaper Dörki Potschevaunig, who until then had only been ridiculed by him, stuck to his idol. So Flasch stabbed Harri at the crucial board meeting of the KAC in order to increase his own chances of becoming club president. Flasch also takes on the training of the U12 team himself.

Harri begins to question whether he would like to continue going through life as a “bastard”. For example, he helps Dörki win over Miriam “Miri” Meyers, with whom Dörki has been secretly in love for years. He also tries to win Ines back by serenading her and proposing marriage. This leads to an argument between Pansi and Harri, Harri is knocked down by Pansi. Miri convinces Pinter to go to the final game despite the stadium ban to support his junior team. Thanks to his strategic tips, the team can decide the game for themselves. Harri and Ines are also slowly getting closer.

reception

The Upper Austrian News wrote that, despite all his mistakes, Pinter would be liked. “Because the film not only draws him according to stereotypes, it also plays with them in a funny and cunning way, always showing what kind of good guy he is. The Pinter character is like the film as a whole: Interesting because it is more sensitive and smarter than it initially seems. "

The standard said the film was a success. "In its charmless way, the Carinthian dialect is still the most charming in Austria."

Oliver Junge found in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that the plot would not be entirely original, "but what the stylistically confident director Andreas Schmied, who plunders the eighties and is perfect in terms of speed and timing, makes of it is both weightlessly romantic and noisy". Maurer plays his character "real, sympathetic and tragicomic." And: "The script is also big enough not to make fun of anyone."
