Beda stvari

Slovenski opis filma:

Trinajstletni Gunter z očetom in tremi strici živi pri babici. Tam je vsak dan priča alkoholu, preganjanju žensk in brezdelju. Vse kaže, da enako življenje čaka tudi njega. Ali pa bo ubežal podobni usodi?Trinajstletni Gunter Strobbe s svojim očetom Marcelom in skupaj s tremi strici živi pri babici. Strobbovi niso običajna družina: Marcel dela kot priložnostni prenašalec pisem, vendar je na njegovi poti več gostiln, zaradi katerih je vsakodnevna služba poštarja zanj pravi izziv. Njegovi bratje so pijanski brezdelneži in zajedavci, ki izkoriščajo svojo ostarelo mater, ta pa je preveč prijazna, da bi jim odrekla skromno pokojnino. Možje vse dni popivajo in žrejo klobase, razbijajo stvari, ljudem pripravljajo potegavščine in preganjajo ženske. Nekaj let pozneje je Gunther obetavni mladi pisatelj, poročen in pričakuje sina. Nenadoma prestrašen pred novimi obveznostmi, ki so pred njim, poišče očeta Marcela in strice, da bi mu svetovali glede očetovstva – nekaj, o čemer se jim verjetno ne sanja preveč.

Originalni opis filma:

In Reetveerdegem (English would be Arsefeatherham), a fictitious derelict hamlet near run-down industrial city Aalst (Alost), five debt-burdened drop-out Strobbe brothers move back in with their pensioned mother 'Meetje', still wasting their lives in dead-end jobs, alcohol, gambling and meaningless sex. Celle also took in, as if their baby brother, his son Gunther. Nobody expects the knave (13) to grow up and become a respectable citizen either, despite his better IQ and attitude, as his uncles' and father's mischief and reputation seem to sabotage every single opportunity. Discovering love may motivate him after all, or accidental paternity could drag him down to father's level.
