action
Pitschi has a well-paid job in a beer brewery in Bamberg , likes to have a drink with his old friends and has a pretty friend named Sabine. But he is not taken seriously at work, and friends have become tame because of their wives. After eight years with him, Sabine wants to build a house and start a family. Pitschi cannot imagine that. He gets drunk at his best friend's wedding. In his intoxication he promises Sabine to father a child with her during the holidays on Mallorca .
Sober again, he regrets this promise. At the airport, he panics and fakes a violent robbery on himself, in which money and papers were allegedly stolen, which is why he cannot fly to Mallorca. He sends Sabine to Mallorca alone with his friends. As soon as the plane is in the air, Pitschi books a flight to Buenos Aires , where he wants to make a fresh start. On board, he writes a sincere farewell letter to Sabine, which he initially does not send.
After arriving in Buenos Aires, Pitschi looks for a furnished room. His landlord speaks only Spanish and has all kinds of animals in his apartment. He recommends that he take a Spanish course in a private institute, which Pitschi also starts the next day. He is very impressed by the attractive Spanish teacher Luna and he lies to his girlfriend on the phone about his whereabouts.
Luna and Pitschi start an affair with each other, which is why Pitschi now sends the letter to Sabine. Pitschi is introduced to Luna's rich friends and is supposed to move into her fancy apartment for $ 1,500 a month. He later notices that all furnishings in Luna's apartment have a deposit seal. He suddenly feels a longing for Sabine, breaks down his tents in Buenos Aires and flies home.
Sabine, who has also returned from Mallorca, accepts Pitschi's letter while he is in the bathroom. She is shocked, quickly leaves the apartment and in turn writes a farewell letter. At first she doesn't seem to be able to change her mind. Only when Pitschi leads her to a reserved piece of land, on which he has symbolically set up her future house, does she reconcile with Pitschi.
criticism
"Comedy crammed with infantile schoolboy humor, which is exhausted in flat gags and poorly conceived characters."
“What sounds like a funny comedy unfortunately turns out to be a gruesome, amateurishly staged work, with nothing right at the back or front. What is still funny in Tommy Jaud's book degenerates into annoying series of clichés in which the actors seem quite lost. Another example of how films shouldn't actually look like. "
background
The film is based on the novel of the same name by Tommy Jaud , which was published in 2006. It was filmed in 2010 on original locations in Bamberg, Nuremberg and Buenos Aires by Sony Pictures Germany under the direction of Gregor Schnitzler and was released on August 11, 2011. Tommy Jaud also wrote the script, which, however, differs in many places from the original book.
Differences between book and film
- In the book, Pitschi gets to know a German-Argentinian on the plane and is later kidnapped on the way to the return flight, whereby the German-Argentinian turns out to be the head of the kidnappers and Pitschi releases immediately after he has noticed who his people have kidnapped. The entire storyline is missing in the film.
- The end of the film differs significantly from the book finale: In the book, Pitschi can destroy the letter in time before his girlfriend sees it. The scene in which Pitschi set up the floor plan of a house including a children's room for his girlfriend in a mowed piece of a field does not appear in the book.
