action

1968: A farm in a small village in southeast Upper Bavaria . Uncle Sepp shows his sister Erika's children a new invention in the workshop. When the “Pursurgator”, a machine for the final solution of the energy question, is switched on, he receives a violent electric shock and falls lifeless to the ground.

18 years later; 1986, the time of resistance against the WAA Wackersdorf , the anti-nuclear power movement , by Greenpeace and Robin Wood . Erika Baumgarten looks after her brother Sepp on the farm, who is in a coma and is artificially ventilated - he obviously did not survive the unsuccessful test of the invention.

Hansi Baumgarten sells insurance and shows off with a red 6-series BMW and C-network cell phone .

Lukas Baumgarten lives in a room with Pastor Ben, who is a staunch opponent of nuclear power. He wants to travel to New Zealand to work on a Greenpeace ship to save the whales; his rucksack is packed, he said goodbye to his mother Erika briefly on the phone.

Paul Baumgarten confuses and irritates his surroundings by thinking of himself as Jesus or by saying things like Mühlhiasl : “When the devil's name is on the roofs, death blows over from the east.” He is a little mentally retarded and works as a helper Butcher Franz Much, who runs an inn together with his aerobically-tempered wife Gini, which slides into bankruptcy with a debt of around DM 100,000. Hansi Baumgarten gives him the idea of ​​cutting off an insured part of the body in order to pay off the debt. Much is putting it into practice. His dog runs away with the evidence, the severed arm, causing a chase.

criticism

"Turbulent-macabre, sometimes silly comedy that brushes myths of Heimatfilm against the grain and entertains them with lovingly drawn characters and laconic dialogues."

- Lexicon of international film

" What is gone, is gone is a parable on the irretrievable, free from lard and nostalgia, deeply provincial and at the same time universal, because it addresses the uneasiness of globalization and its upheavals."

- Bartholomäus Grill : The time

“Above all, Christian Lerch's directorial debut has a light wind blowing from the south, a touch of Austrian-black humor. Unfortunately only a fan, a hunch from Wolf Haas and Wolfgang Murnberger , from Ulrich Seidl and Josef Hader , but you shouldn't scare away the Bavarian cinema audience. "

- Florian Sendtner : Mittelbayerische Zeitung

The German Film and Media Evaluation FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the title valuable.

Cameo

As a cameo , Jochimsen appears as an opponent of nuclear power in two scenes.
