2012 · 105 min Comedy
6.0 / 10 · TMDB

The snow is staying away from the Bavarian ski village of Haunzenberg, and so are the skiers. Business is failing and so is Georg's relationship with Emilie. During his attempt to reignite the fires of passion, the wooden cross in the next room falls down, crushing Emilie's very Catholic mother Daisy. Wracked with guilt, Georg and his drinking buddies hatch a plan to have Daisy canonized by the Church, hoping to save both the village and his relationship. Everything goes according to plan until the Vatican sends a Priest to examine the miracles of Saint Daisy... Written by Anthony Parkhurst

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the absurd clash of small-town greed and religious bureaucracy, relying on distinctly Bavarian local color as a perfect backdrop for situational farce. It explores the grotesque yet familiar flaws of its characters, whose petty desires spiral into grand chaos.

Those who tire of overly earnest comedies will find a light, ironic tale where sainthood becomes a project of desperate schemers, and village salvation hinges on a convincingly faked miracle. What lingers after is a sense of warm, good-natured absurdity. — MovieFinder Editorial

With a stein of light beer and friends ready for gentle satire on bureaucracy and local superstitions.
