content
The film describes the everyday life of the 29-year-old young farmer Philipp Kienle, who runs an almost 300-year-old farm with 15 cows , pig fattening and arable farming together with his parents in the Laiz district of Sigmaringen . He also describes the conflict between himself and Konrad Kienle, the 60-year-old farm owner, both of whom have different views on agriculture. In addition, Phillip's friend Manuela and his mother Gertrud describe the two men and their peculiarities.
In order to improve the financially tense situation of the court, Konrad Kienle carries out the Schwäbisches Tagblatt in the morning . Philipp works in the steel mill of the Zollern company . In order to develop further financial resources, he also tries to sell his Ford Mustang .
Konrad explains how difficult it was for his father to entrust the farm to him. Now he is skeptical of the increasing demands from banks and the requirements of the European Union. This can be seen in a dispute between the two about the planned conversion of the pigsty.
The film ends on Philip's 30th birthday when his parents tell him to hand over the farm to him .
criticism
“What is impressive about Sauacker is the honesty with which the interviewees go into court with themselves and their situation. The conflicts are carried out in front of the camera without docusoap approaches and there is no mincing of words. Even if the film clearly shows that a new EU pigsty regulation can bring a company to its knees, Sauacker keeps away from all agitatory nuances. The formally more conventional concept always remains close to the characters who move through the film as individuals and not as prototypes. "
“The film is still exciting, because it has a heart for its two stoically fighting heroes and never sinks into sentimentalities in rural life. Even a hard life can be nice. You just have to trust yourself to lead it. "
