Schtonk!
6.9

Schtonk! is a farce of the actual events of 1983, when Germany's Stern magazine published, with great fanfare, 60 volumes of the alleged diaries of Adolf Hitler – which two weeks later turned out to be entirely fake. Fritz Knobel (based on real-life forger Konrad Kujau) supports himself by faking and selling Nazi memorabilia. When Knobel writes and sells a volume of Hitler's (nonexistent) diaries, he thinks it's just another job. When sleazy journalist Hermann WilliĂ© learns of the diaries, however, he quickly realizes their potential value... and Knobel is quickly in over his head. As the pressure builds and Knobel is forced to deliver more and more volumes of the fake diaries, he finds himself acting increasingly like the man whose life he is rewriting. The film is a romping and hilarious satire, poking fun not only at the events and characters involved in the hoax (who are only thinly disguised in the film), but at the discomfort Germany has with its difficult past.

Drinking, fighting, sex and soccer matches - on Saturday, the people in the Nordkurve have nothing but pleasure on their minds. It's all about lust at any price, fighting with all means, intrigue, deceit and blackmail. After all, the all-important game takes place in the afternoon and 40,000 people want to be there. Everyone is preparing for it in their own way, everyone wants to make the deal of a lifetime. Substitute player Niebitsch is eagerly awaiting his appearance. Player agent Roland F. Beyer is trying to pull off the really big deal. The club is on the brink of financial ruin. President Vischering only thinks about the invitation to appear on "Aktuelle Sportstudio". And Gottschalk begins to systematically get drunk. In the end it is clear: Herberger's wisdom "The game lasts 90 minutes" is wrong. The game lasts all day, every Saturday...
