The Hawk

The long-lost bon vivant Mike Bittini learns that his brother has fallen into a coma. He returns to his family, sneaks in like a hawk in the chicken coop and mixes things up properly. The uncle comes to help, brings chaos and finds love.

Directed by Helmut Köpping, Michael Ostrowski, The Hawk leans on a strong ensemble — Anke Engelke, Michael Ostrowski, Simon Schwarz — 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 2022.
