Project Description

The film is based on the autobiographical book of the same name by Hape Kerkeling.
It tells the moving childhood story of the future comedian in the Ruhr area during the 1970s. The central character is nine-year-old Hans-Peter (played by Julius Weckauf), a chubby but cheerful boy with a great talent for making people laugh. His world is shaken when his mother becomes severely depressed and eventually dies. During this difficult time, Hans-Peter discovers the power of humor and begins to use his talent to connect with his family and those around him – marking the beginning of his later career as an entertainer.

The film is both a personal tragedy and a heartfelt tribute to family, courage, and the healing power of humor.

Project Description

The film is set in the 1980s in a Bhagwan commune in southern Germany. At the center of the story is eleven-year-old Ludwig, who lives with his parents and other followers of the Indian guru Bhagwan in a spiritual collective. Everyone wears orange clothing, believes in free love, meditation, and an alternative lifestyle. However, Ludwig longs for a "normal" life with soccer, school, and regular structure—something that is considered bourgeois within the commune. When the commune’s attempt to buy a neighboring house fails, the system begins to unravel. Ludwig starts to distance himself internally, and his coming-of-age unfolds in the tension between ideals and reality.

Project Description

"Mit Harpunen schießt man nicht" (translated: "You Don’t Shoot with Harpoons") is a German family comedy released in 2023, directed by Peter Gersina.

The film centers on Gerda Weinberger (played by Gerburg Jahnke), a strong-willed senior who refuses to spend her twilight years in a nursing home. After escaping from a clinic, she returns to her home—only to find Simon Yeboah (Eugene Boateng) there, who planned to use the vacant house for a quiet weekend. Armed with a harpoon, Gerda gives him an ultimatum: either she calls the police, or he becomes her new caregiver. Simon chooses the latter, setting off a chain of chaotic and comedic events.

The situation intensifies when Gerda’s estranged daughter Linda (Isabell Polak) moves into the house due to renovations in her own apartment. Things get even more complicated with the arrival of Linda’s ex-partner Dora (Giulia Goldammer) and their daughter Feli (Muine Keune), who also seek temporary shelter. Meanwhile, Simon faces the threat of deportation to Ghana. Despite all the challenges, the mismatched group slowly forms an unexpected bond and sense of community.

Bendixen Media Service (BMS) was responsible for the film’s entire post-production. Their work included editing, color grading, and sound design, helping to bring out both the emotional depth and comedic elements of the story. Thanks to BMS’s expertise, the film received its polished final form—enhancing its quality and entertainment value significantly.

Directed by Anna-Katharina Maier, the series unfolds as a multi-layered crime drama with strong visual storytelling and emotional depth. Nicolette Krebitz and Lana Cooper star as the investigating detectives, while Lucas Gregorowicz takes on an unexpected and compelling role as the antagonist.
