Schwester Cordula - ...liebt Heimatromane

"You're not getting our boy!"
Penny-dreadful satire: sentimental schmaltz with bite

Rabid bulls, trigger-happy poachers, hot-blooded rivals, spiteful in-laws, breathtaking alpine glows - that's the world of the Heimatroman, the cheap paperback romance. Always Bavarian. Happy ending guaranteed.

After tackling doctor novels and mummy novels, Schwester Cordula and her young forester Dirk on accordion turn their third programme to the theme of Heimat. They work their way through nature, love and family ties - both literary and musical - and unearth some astonishing things. Hilarious. If it weren't so bitter.

Because there is nothing in a Heimatroman that reality doesn't manage to top.
