About Leg ihn um! - Ein Familienfest
Patriarch and entrepreneur August Manzl is terminally ill. As his four grown-up children are all spoiled and sluggish, he comes up with a rather cynical idea to determine the future leader of the families empire: whoever of his children shows the courage and willpower to end his suffering within the next week will become the sole heir - and simultaneously proof the skills necessary to succeed in a modern business world. Between the children a murderous competition evolves.
Directed by Jan Georg Schütte, Leg ihn um! - Ein Familienfest leans on a strong ensemble — Hans-Michael Rehberg, Oliver Sauer, Stephan Schad — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2013.
