MUTTI, DER FILM

Jörn Hartman and others., Germany 2002, feature, 80 min, video, in German with English subtitles
Over the top comedy starring Berlin drag queens Ades Zabel as Mutti and Biggy van Blond as her daughter.

On her way home from school, primary school pupil Biggi decides to treat herself to a bag of surprise goodies. However, the bag contains a great deal more than the sweets she had bargained for: in it she finds an ear that can hear people’s thoughts. Desperate to lay their hands on the ear are a fat man and a lady in black. A chase ensues during which nimble-footed Biggie only just manages to escape. Once home, Biggi can’t wait to tell her mother about her find but a single mother who is always on the lookout, if not for Mr. Right then at least for an opportunity for a quickie, has no time for her daughter who has arrived home earlier than usual. All went awry when Biggi was kidnapped… Set against the typical backdrop of East Berlin cityscapes, with many cameo appearances of German TV celebrities.
