Synopsis:

A crazy situational grotesque with solid performances (especially Michael Ostrowski and Andreas Kiendl) and a great drive. A famous actress (played by the actual Austrian star Elfriede Ott) has been kidnapped. But why? Two friends, Horst (Kiendl) and Toni (Ostrowski), needed an elderly woman to collect a social security benefit as Horst has been collecting his deceased grandmother's pension for two years now. Their plan works smoothly until one local politician gets the sublime idea of wishing the old lady many happy returns. Meanwhile, the abduction of a prominent patient creates a furore and the two friends find themselves in a mess that only grows bigger. At the very first edition of Austrian Film Awards in 2011, the picture won three awards - for best script, best music and as the best feature film.

Horst receives the monthly pension from his grandmother. The only problem is, that she is dead. As a local politician wants to congratulate the grandmother to her birthday Horst 'borrows' an old lady from a hospital nearby, not recognizing that he just kidnapped actress Elfriede Ott.
