action

The film tells five stories from Germany's toilets:

Loni, one of Germany's great hopes for swimming, flees to a quiet place before a doping control. Your team doctor Dr. Dietrich tries everything to save her career.

During his lunch break, DIY store employee Martin Rolfes makes a confession from his customer Mr. Jansen in the staff toilet, which confronts him with a serious moral decision.

After Ms. Schohusen's husband suffered a severe stroke, she sought advice on raising the toilet seat. In doing so, she runs into the unscrupulous salesman Mr. Tapken, for whom the conversation opens up unimagined business opportunities.

The sprightly pensioner Manfred Kasunke is brutally attacked by two young people in the toilet of a run-down subway station, but Manfred knows how to defend himself.

Patricia and Charlotte meet by chance at a charity event in the ladies' room and notice that there are piquant overlaps in their men's tastes.

criticism

The film service writes that the episode film conceives an "almost ethnological study of types as a politically incorrect swan song for the human species, whereby it regards satirical exaggerations as an adequate means against the baseness of being". In the film, "the actors in particular do [trump], while the camera and editing services are rather modest".

At the Max Ophüls Preis film festival , the film was described as a “pitch-black comedy nested in episodes full of greed, arrogance, stupidity, hypocrisy and violence”.
