About Semmel, Wurst und Birkenwasser - Die liebestollen Handwerker
In the small town of Bumshausen live three friends: a baker, a butcher and a hairdresser. When a sex movie is shown for the first time in the local cinema, the three men are motivated to seek sexual experiences. However, they have to face their wives and their strict bosses (who constantly monitor the behavior of their subordinates).
Directed by Hans D. Bornhauser, Semmel, Wurst und Birkenwasser - Die liebestollen Handwerker leans on a strong ensemble — Birgit Bergen, Dorothea Rau, Elke Boltenhagen — 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 1972.
