Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe video that the boss of the constitution department is giving to his secretary to check is an actual link to the short film "One Shot" by Dietrich Brüggemann, the director of "Heil", starring some of the actors from "Heil". He posted this video on his own YouTube-Channel. The film is a no-budget-movie about xenophobia, in which a young man named Kerem explains the issues about being gay in societies and a couple of people who make a movie about it.

Sebastian Klein: [repeated line while he has amnesia] Pillow fight!
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits, displayed over newspaper articles, nazi related footage etc, keep changing the fonts to the rhythm of the theme song, some of them are styled after German Newspapers, like "Bild", "Spiegel" etc.
- ConnectionsReferences Tatort (1970)
Featured review
Oh dear, what can I say... with movies / series that grab me, I have to stop myself from writing too much, but exactly the opposite happens with those that make it difficult for me.
For me, there was so much potential here (when reading the synopsis), and Benno Fürmann could have really been something. Not the big hit, I knew that, but a funny satire with good dialog and a few slapstick interludes would have been enough to make an entertaining film. I don't even want to talk about the look and effects. So many things could have been brought to the point better (there were one or two gags that worked). But it was dragged out so long that it loses itself in itself and that is a mixture of cheese, tedium, superficiality and dull humor. Too bad, too bad.
-------------- Bottom line: Weak.
