About Der Wettbewerb
The Fischbach brothers and their families live next door to each other just outside Vienna. Hubert works for an oil company, Viktor runs an organic food store. When a climate protection competition is announced in the community, it's all about who uses less energy. The compost is felted and the effect of soap nuts is relied upon. The brothers' increasingly childish squabbling also drives their wives up the wall - and turns the petty war into delicious fun against narrow-minded over-correctness.
Directed by Michael Riebl, Der Wettbewerb leans on a strong ensemble — Harald Krassnitzer, Ann-Kathrin Kramer, Cornelius Obonya — 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 screen titles of 2011.
