Overview
Why does everyone want to take part in the Rottweiler Narrensprung, even though the costumes are expensive, the wooden masks uncomfortable and the jesters' rules extremely strict? Can Swabian language tests and video surveillance save the famous Rottweiler Fasnacht from the onslaught of out-of-town jesters? Fool master Christoph has his doubts. But under no circumstances are women allowed to dress up as horses. Filmmakers Sigrun Köhler and Wiltrud Baier (Böller und Brot) spent over three years filming in Rottweil. With their humorous and affectionate view, they take the viewer into an unknown world: a great archaic celebration of life and death in the middle of highly industrialized Germany.
