About Die Weihnachtsklempner
Plumber Martin and his younger colleague Frank are on call on Christmas Eve of all days. Frank's girlfriend Regina, who is expecting her first baby at any moment, is anything but thrilled. But it doesn't help, duty is duty. One emergency call follows another, but this evening it's not just broken water pipes that are waiting for the two plumbers...
Directed by Helmut Krätzig, Die Weihnachtsklempner leans on a strong ensemble — Ulrich Thein, Daniel Minetti, Janina Hartwig — 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 1986.
