Hard rolls is a romantic comedy of director Tim Trageser from 2002. In the lead roles embody Katharina Thalbach and Uwe Ochsenknecht the couple Christa and Theo Zerrback who share a kiosk in the Ruhr operate.
action
The action takes place in the Ruhr area. Christa and Theo have been running a small kiosk for many years. The sales that the two have recorded there are regularly “neither fish nor meat”; Strictly speaking, the jointly operated shop is not profitable.
Basically a kind-hearted person, Theo is more of a "buddy" than a businessman, as he is always ready to generously write down the consumption of his customers he knows instead of demanding the money he is entitled to for the goods sold.
Theo and Christa take part in a “100 years kiosk” competition organized by the local authority association and win the special prize “the region's most unadulterated kiosk”. Theo dies suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack shortly after betting the money he earned from the kiosk on a horse race.
As a result, Christa has to get by on her own with her two now grown-up daughters. The many debts Theo left in his lifetime do not make life easy for her. However, she decides to continue operating the kiosk in order to continue to prove a regular, albeit small, income at least to the lenders.
Christa's only hope is the teacher and grape grower Jörg Erdmann, who fell in love with her. But Theo, her late husband, also helps her by showing Christa on her television and giving her valuable tips from the afterlife. However, he is not particularly enthusiastic about Jörg Erdmann's appearance in her life.

Reviews
The program magazine TV Spielfilm attests to the film that it is full of "Ruhrpott clichés", but that it appears very personable. The lexicon of international films sums up that the leading actress has produced a convincing performance by sympathetically portraying the change from a bitter wife to a successful entrepreneur.
