Now at the movies: Ein Münchner im Himmel - Der Tod ist erst der Anfang

Wiggerl, a taxi driver, part-time rocker and Bavarian through and through, is quite taken aback when, following a car crash, he ends up in heaven, only to find it completely different from what he expected: no beer, no brass band music – instead, soya manna, the strumming of harps and yoga. As Wiggerl’s grumbling increasingly annoys the heavenly hosts, God himself sends him back to Earth, but with a mission: he must sort out his karma within 48 hours, then he may continue living. The only problem is that his daughter Toni is now the only one who can see and hear him – and she, of all people, doesn’t want to talk to him, let alone help him, because he never cared about her or her mother. For Wiggerl, a race against time begins… - How father and daughter manage to patch things up after all, and how the incorrigible stubborn man even gains a glimmer of self-awareness, is told by David Dietl in "Ein Münchner im Himmel – Der Tod ist erst der Anfang", his contemporary, lively remake of Ludwig Thoma’s humorous tale, told with charm and warmth. The cast, in high spirits, led by Maximilian Brückner as the Bavarian on probation and Momo Beier as his daughter Toni, ensure a delight that is as heavenly as it is Bavarian – "All's easy!", as Wiggerl would say.
