Die Schimmelreiter

Sheep and Chips
In the North German provincial town Dithmarschen, no restaurant is safe from stern Mr. Fuchs: the official food inspector is completely taken up in his job and inspects every gastronomic establishment of his hometown with meticulous accuracy – from Chinese restaurants to French fries stands. To finally realize his biggest dream, a promotion to Hamburg, Fuchs one day takes up the stranded brother of the local food inspection brigade’s boss. The brother’s name is Tilmann and he is a cynical, egoistic, and reckless rogue who frames everybody when he thinks that he himself could benefit from it. When Tilmann insists to accompany Fuchs on his last inspection tour of the region, the situation rapidly gets out of control. More and more blatantly, the loud-mouthed shark takes charge and delights in imposing hefty fines – that he of course pockets himself.
