German queer TV comedian Hans Peter 'Hape' Kerkeling tells about his youth, in hindsight the root of his particular humor. His peasant parents were poor, so the family lived alternatively on the two farms of his grandparents. He was more mischievous then his elder bother and drawn very young to pageantry and elements of show since he saw his first carnival parade. Fate cruelly knocked the family with repeated ancestor deaths, so humor become his weapon for self-preservation while he practiced at home how to entertain, years before he was discovered. —KGF Vissers

Goofs
The scene where Hans Peter is watching Television is set in the early 1970s. The Disco (1971)-episode he is watching is from the 27.11.1978, as Ilja Richter was announcing Baccara with "The Devil Sent You to Loredo". Hape Kerkeling was already 13 years old back then.

9/10

A must see for Germans

We laughed a lot, cried a little and were all amazed by how good the film portrays the emotions of being in a big, a bit weird family in Germany. This film connects with you through strong performances and is just beautifully done.

Now it wont be for everyone and probably will not translate (both in terms of language and culture) but for Germans it is a must see.
