Der Wettbewerb
The Fischbach brothers and their families live next door to each other just outside Vienna. Hubert works for an oil company, Viktor runs an organic food store. When a climate protection competition is announced in the community, it's all about who uses less energy. The compost is felted and the effect of soap nuts is relied upon. The brothers' increasingly childish squabbling also drives their wives up the wall - and turns the petty war into delicious fun against narrow-minded over-correctness.
