Is there life before death? Perhaps, but its bloody cold.
Two men and a frozen foods transporter: the cynic former company owner Berg just wants his peace and quiet. His new partner, on the other hand, the naïve former hairdresser Moerer, loves to talk. “This transporter is too small for the two of us!” But futile, Berg will only be able to get rid of his annoying co-pilot after he trains him to be a good salesman, orders from his new boss. The bloody cold misanthrope Berg suddenly needs to show some team spirit. Some 876 frozen pizzas, 4322 fish sticks, and 12.887 shrimps later he begins to defrost – but that’s just when his problems really begin…
ARSCHKALT – A comedy about the opportunity of failure and the various aggregate states of human relations.
