    Storyline

    Edit
    Marcus H. Rosenmüller's first feature movie deals with a boy thinking that he is responsible for his mother's death and his unusual way to fight his feelings of guilt. 11-year-old Sebastian lives with his father and brother Franz in a Bavarian village. One day, he learns that his mother died on his birthday, which makes him believe he was to blame for her death. Dreaming of purgatory, Sebastian sees only two ways to avoid this divine punishment: becoming an immortal rock star or find a new wife for his father... —fippi2000

    one of the best movies I have seen this year
    I can recommend this movie strongly to anybody, with or without Bavarian passions / roots. I am so glad that such movies still exist - in total contrast to recent Hollywood trash.

    I am not saying this as a Hollywood hater. No I do like films like "The Godfather" or "Casablanca" very much.

    "Wer früher stirbt, ist länger tot" has a lot of black humor, a very good child actor, and displays funny Bavarian traditions.

    And, it is a very successful combination of sad tones with funny and positive vibes.

    Watch this, you won't be disappointed. Subtitles recommended for all Non-Bavarians ;-)
