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.
