When the police find no evidence, the "silver thistles" hatch a plan.
criticism

The TV magazine Prisma sums it up: “Without making any concessions to genre expectations, Udo Wachtveitl tells a comedy full of black humor in his debut as a writer and director, which constantly plays with the expectations of the audience and contradicts them in a clever way - to a bitter end . ”Furthermore, Wachtveitl would offer the“ top-class ensemble the opportunity to enjoy great ease and joy in playing ”. Special mention is made of Heinz Schubert , "who once again succeeded in creating a figure in his last film who virtuously combines righteous rebellion and disgruntled shrewdness".
