Club Las Piranjas
Karl-Heinz, a filling-station attendant, and his family, Herta, a retiree, Kurt, a drugstore branch manager, and Margot, a divorced man-hunter, have only one thing in common: they have booked a holiday at Club Las Piranjas, where they want to relax from their nerve-racking occupations. But there are three people knowing a way to prevent this. Most notably the two animators Edwin and Biggy, who don't allow any amusement outside their own plans, and of course the always drunken club chief Mrs. Wenger, whose only thought is, that there shouldn't be any reclamation from the travel agency. Apart from the scruffy condition of the Club (no water in the pool, etc). and the obscure Club activities involving Biggy and Edwin, the vacation becomes a complete horror trip, with only one end in sight, which is to part from the club as soon as possible.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedy from the stark clash between the tourists' mundane dreams and the resort's grotesque reality. It relies on escalating absurdity and sharp caricatures to explore the petty miseries of packaged leisure and the characters' own vulnerabilities.
Those who tire of polished comedies will find a raw, chaotic charm in this holiday-gone-wrong farce. What lingers after the credits is a peculiar sympathy for these everyman victims of a broken promise. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ulli Baumann
Best Watched
Best viewed with a group, embracing its chaotic and darkly humorous spirit. A cult pick for fans of offbeat comedies.
