The Wrecking Balls

Two construction workers in Hamburg have to deal with the residents of a skyscraper within a day - because on the one hand it is to be demolished shortly and on the other hand no one was informed about it in advance. Various disputes and strange incidents result only the tip of the iceberg, in which even the first mayor of the city is involved!

Directed by Christian Witte, The Wrecking Balls leans on a strong ensemble — Christian Witte, Martin Hentschel, Florian Eichinger — 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 2019.
