Volker Weininger - Filmriss

The session president is on a roll: he escaped the morning meeting by 7 PM, was re-elected at the annual assembly with 104 percent of the vote - and finally, a long-overdue promotion awaits. If only he knew where he'd put that blasted school certificate he needs for his application.

It must be in the box down in the basement - that's where he keeps everything: certificates, unpaid bills, diplomas, medals, photographs, love letters, parking tickets, his first glass of Kölsch at communion. His whole life. So he sits down in the basement, opens a beer, and starts searching. And as he rummages through, one by one, all the stories come back to him that he might have forgotten without the box: first day of school, first Kölsch, first kiss - all on the same day. Wedding, children, club outings, and of course Hermann, his friend who lives at the bare minimum of intelligence.

In his second solo programme, Volker Weininger as session president takes the audience on an autobiographical journey through his eventful life. The Kölsch and the gags come thick and fast. He can't quite remember some things - filmriss, as they say. But fortunately there's the box, and a few eyewitnesses who can help. Only: where is that damned certificate?
