Storyline

The Austrian Alps, some years ago. While playing, young Türlich falls unconscious onto a duck nest and is carried away forever by the small river. Sixteen years later, Germany, in the Ruhrpott, to be exact: Orphan Türlich and his friend Josch are working their civil service, yet cause so much chaos that they decide to flee instead of being forced into the army. Türlich accidentally stumbles across some information about his origin and decides to go to Klein Ischgl in Austria. Upon arrival, Josch and Türlich find Ischgl to be a center for après ski parties, and drink hard to blend in. Klein Ischgl actually turns out to be a stone-age-like townlet (9 inhabitants) up the mountain, and Türlichs grandfather, who runs the place, even resists to electricity and indoor plumbing. While Türlich rediscovers his roots (and his affection for Heidi), Josch finds out that evil entrepreneur Tronald Dump plans to blow the mountain to smithereens in order to erect a plastic mountain with a ski resort ...

User Reviews

Unbearable

I happened to tune into a channel showing this film, and although realizing immediately that this was an enormously bad movie, I was curious how bad it was actually going to get. It surpassed my worst expectations! This is an example of "comedy" at its very bottom. The actors (featuring Axel Stein, Rick Kavanian, Eva Habermann among others) are dreadful, the jokes are crude and may only be funny to infants. I am wondering how this movie was able to reach an average rating of 3... Probably the worst movie I have ever seen.

Avoid at all costs! You'd regret it otherwise.
