One man's vacation is another man's nightmare in this edgy comedy from Germany. Ralf (Paul Faanacht) is a retired NATO operative who has poured his savings into buying a ramshackle holiday camp in Bavaria. Helping to run the place are Ralf's teenaged daughter Angie (Henriette Heize) and her husband Pit Sun (Ill-Young Kim), a would-be club DJ who would like to get out of Germany and take his wife with him to Vietnam, where he was born. Business has not been good for the easily aggravated Ralf, and the future of his business could depend on the opinions of a handful of travel guide writers who have come to see the camp on a holiday weekend. As Ralf tries to bring the camp up to snuff, he has to deal with a number of eccentric guests, including a past-prime pop singer playing a humiliating gig at the camp (Michi Fanselow), a nebbishy bank clerk (Fritz Roth) who responds to being fired after 20 years by staging a robbery, and a gang of uncouth semi-hippies who've taken up permanent residence at the camp. Tolle Lage received its American premiere at the 2001 Berlin & Beyond Film Festival in San Francisco, CA.
