content

Rita sets out from Berlin-Lichtenberg to Bavaria, where she wants to visit the “Loni-Hof”. Her daughter plans to marry Max, Loni’s son, and Rita wants to take a look at the young man first. The journey begins with directions on a tape cassette that her neighbors have discussed for her. In a freeway parking lot, shortly after Berlin, Rita meets the supposed theater director Hotte, who in reality has escaped from psychiatry.

When they finally arrive in Bavaria, Rita drops her passenger off at the nearest theater. There he does not go into the building, but walks towards the street and runs right in front of Prime Minister Alois' car. Since he is preparing for the annual Passion Play, a theater director comes in handy and he takes Hotte with him to his property. Hotte promises to make him “the best Jesus of all time”.

Arrived at the “Loni-Hof”, Rita first has to listen to a few remarks about the Ossis . Otherwise she is treated like a normal hotel guest and can let herself be pampered a little. But Rita realizes very quickly that the "Loni-Hof" is on the verge of bankruptcy. More and more guests stay away and the mayor is even planning to have the ski lift dismantled. Loni is on his nerves and an argument with her ex-husband Xaver, who also works in the family business, threatens to escalate. Fortunately, “Theater Director” Hotte is now showing up, which helps defuse the situation. He would like to stay in the hotel and since staff is still needed, he helps out here too. Together with Rita and Max, they wait at the village festival. Hotte, in his somewhat crazy way, starts a GDR song out of the blue , which everyone gradually joins in. Loni is a little fascinated by this man's versatility. There doesn't seem to be anything he can't. However, he also confuses a lot with his crazy ideas. Through his work with and for the Prime Minister, he directs an influential Russian guest along with a large tour group to the “Loni-Hof”. Loni is enthusiastic and the kitchen is in full swing.

Rita's neighbor Katja in Berlin has the feeling that her friend couldn't be well. She wants to follow her and come to her aid if necessary. Together with her son Berni, she sets out on a journey. When she tries to call the “Loni-Hof” while on the road, she only hears Russian talk in the background and is appalled. They are now trying to reach Rita in a hurry and just before their destination they run into Hotte, who is once again in the middle of the street. Injured, he is carried into the house and somehow the psychiatric clinic finds out the whereabouts of their patient. The treating doctor is now also rushing to Bavaria, fearing that this state could perish as a result of Hotte's activities. After all, at the press conference of the Council of Ministers of the GDR in 1989 , Grabowski slipped the deliberate slip of paper, which ultimately led to the fall of the Wall .

Meanwhile, Hotte is performing the Prime Minister's Passion Play. He can get the Russian tour group to fill the auditorium, which consists only of a simple barn. Fatally, the main actor cannot appear in time and so Hotte steps in with a heartfelt monologue in which he has incorporated his personal fate. With the words: "One of you betrayed me", he tries to get to safety from the incoming psychiatric nurses and falls to his death on stage.

criticism

Cinema found: “Ossis and Ostbayern sing the FDJ anthem together: These and other bizarre things do not result in a focused whole, but it's still fun. Conclusion: Inner German culture clash: funny. "

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv judged: “What a rubbish! This supposed farce of German sensitivities is not even useful as a number revue, despite the illustrious actors. Without meaning or understanding, clichés and other follies are strung together here. Zero detail joke, zero dramaturgy. None is lost? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. Hardly any viewer will follow the film to the finish. "

At Kino.de , Tilmann P. Gangloff said: “Normally, films of this kind only get lost on the 8:15 p.m. event in the summer: 'Nobody gets lost', with its sometimes absurdly exaggerated figures and the consequent renunciation of linear dramaturgy, almost seems like a debut film. The duo of authors Bert Koß and Michael Preschke try their hand at the genre mix with childlike joy. ”“ Their East / West grotesque brings together what actually doesn't belong together: road movie, homeland film, love drama; and all of that just because two East Berliners are making their way to Upper Bavaria. The fact that the story works anyway is due to the craziest character in this series: “Hotte (Sylvester Groth).

Dieter Bartetzko from the FAZ wrote: “What kind of film would you expect if a man in lederhosen and jackets dragged a huge cross in front of a rosy Alpine panorama? The work of a new Pasolini? One of those penetrating 'sitcoms' who like to test the limits of blasphemy? Or something strictly profound between Oberammergau and 'Christ only came to Eboli'? 'Nobody is lost' […] suggests the latter, whereas the action suggests everything else. In short: you don't have any certainty until the end. "
