Content:

Pit is representative for beauty products and trying to make the impression of the successful privately Sauber's. His motto: who risks nothing, risking their lives. But behind the facade there is already no longer as good as he wants himself and others to believe. Pit is divorced, the relationship with the adult son is supercooled and financially it is far from the black. In addition, it has the cynicism of his daily work, while he dishes up old ladies smiling lies, inside almost meaningless.
Before he give up his SUV and send its expensive housing needs, dedicated to pit in his need the so-called "hot springs". He meldet sich also bei alten Schulfreunden und Bekannten, lädt sie der guten alten Zeiten wegen zu einem Essen ein und versucht dabei, ihnen seine Produkte anzudrehen. Darunter ist etwa auch Christiane (Inka Friedrich), seine Jugendliebe. Da beginnt Pit zu realisieren, wie sehr er andere Menschen durch seine Heuchlerei verletzt.

Kritik:

Mit Wer früher stirbt, ist länger tot wurde zuletzt bewiesen, wozu bayrische Komödien in der Lage sind. Dabei hatte Jürgen Tonkel eine kleine, aber feine Nebenrolle als suizidgefärdeter Radiomoderator. Beim Debutfilm von Sebastian Stern (Regisseur und Co-Autor) darf er nun die Hauptrolle übernehmen. He brings the conflict between the man and outer rays of inner emptiness extremely credible and maneuvered over the figure sent from the plate area. A bit of a cliché is the fact, already, the dashing Represented, who sold his job for the soul.

But the script treats all the characters not condescending - as do about the Coen brothers usually - but with warmth and respect. They all feel somehow lost in the highly differentiated world of work today are not satisfied with their long life and for human affection. The result is a carefully constructed combination of exciting results in conflicts even if here and there some are constructed. For example there is the young, insecure Hermann, who just starts new company in pits and as a kind of mirror of his younger self to function. been able to gain only a few scenes - great also, how much depth and credibility of the star girlfriend of pits son - thick goth girl is in itself far from being a popular figure.

side scenes of bitter sardonic wit thus arise mainly in the second half melancholy, some really touching moments. Captured these are hardly noticeable from a handheld camera with simple, peaceful images. It convinced the subtle symbolism of the imagery, as when in the supermarket in Pit go under a sea of price tags and billboards almost imminent. Another fine detail is in the background constantly emerging classical music of Liszt, among other things, which is harmoniously complemented with a soundtrack by Markus Lehmann-Horn.

Only towards the end falls on The Hummel by slightly over stock, even if the movie with 87 minutes pleasant fall short. Overall, Stern is definitely a heart-warming, accurate tragicomedy succeeded with biting social criticism.
