Synopsis:

The teacher Anne (Iren Reppen), a butterfly among bozos, while assiduously trying to instill a lust for learning and Scandinavian comfort, soon reaches the limits of her didactic tricks. Nevertheless, the language course proves of value as a kind of help-yourself therapy. Along the way, Silvio (Mario Irrek), Norbert (Jürgen Tarrach), and Micha (Wolfram Kock) become friends. Alternately, the film follows the paths of these three main figures, who in different ways are seeking the double-bliss of both work and love, thus doubly risking failure.

The Last One Turns Out the Lights!, programmed on the opening night at the 2007 Achtung Berlin festival, throws light on how an altogether socially compatible solution can yet challenge an individual to the extreme. For, as shown in this film in all its comic facets, the heroes of unemployment are seen laboring away at a Norwegian language course.
