Plots(1)

Two Bavarian cops, Carl and Franz are all ready to get off work and go to watch the big football match against Austria when they make an unwelcome discovery. So, deal with it, or make it someone else's problem? Carl, a young eager Bavarian border cop is anxious to finish work so he can watch the big football match against Austria. Getting annoyed with his partner, Franz (who is nearing retirement and likes to take his time), his plans are thwarted by the discovery of a suicide victim in the woods just near the Austrian border. The wily Franz realises this an opportunity for a bit of fun with his younger colleague, and sets about instructing him in making the body the Austrians problem. It all seems to work out well, except maybe the Austrians have seen this body before. (official distributor synopsis)

English An absolutely perfectly filmed joke where every single shot, dialogue, but also every look the actors exchange is ingenious. These fifteen minutes have literally brightened up my Saturday. ()
