Northern Germany can be so beautiful... some say. Others are dying of boredom there and want nothing more than to get the hell out of there. The good-humored Fuchs, a passionate food control agent with the local authorities, spends his days going from one snack bar to the next, making sure everything is in order. Tillmann, a depressive alcoholic, couldn’t take it abroad and shows up again at home in rural Dithmarschen. Fuchs dreams of life in the big city Hamburg, but to get transferred there, he’s got to prove himself. And along comes the perfect opportunity to do so when Tillmann, his boss’ misanthropic brother, is assigned to accompany him on a business trip.
A classic buddy movie, a tour-de-force through the provincial wastelands of Northern Germany.
