Join us to watch this quirky Bavarian cult hit with English subtitels on the big screen in our hall.
 
Local pub owner Lorenz lives in the little Bavarian village of Germringen with his two young sons Franz und Sebastian. For several years now, since the death of his wife, he runs his pub alone, so that general opinion now believes it’s time for a new woman to find her place in his home.

When eleven-year-old Sebastian learns by chance that his mother died during his birth, events begin to unfold. Sebastian, who for his age has a rather remarkable array of misdeeds to answer for, now feels guilty of having murdered his mother. Since, as he believes, he is damned to stew in purgatory when he dies, he tries with all his might to become either immortal or to cleanse himself of his sins. But no matter how hard he tries, one mishap after another befalls him. Will immortality remain out of his grasp?

Wonderfully quirky and very Bavarian.
