TITLE DETAILS

Die Föhnforscher

1985-08-02 · 138 min · ★ 8.0

Drama · Comedy

The foehn researcher paints watercolors in which he documents the state of the world and records his visions of what is happening, while he berates the Minister of the Interior savagely. The film tells the imaginary story of the Bavarian Jammersee in fragments. The nuclear missile “Herrsching 2” - the Bavarians have finally provided for their own defense - is to be stored in a depot at the Jammersee. However, this comes into conflict with the other plan to fill the Jammersee with the ashes of the six million murdered Jews.
