Synopsis
Australian premiere
Extrawurst
Adapted from the highly successful German stage play, The Holy Grill is a hilarious, irreverent and acerbically witty comedy directed by Marcus H. Rosenmüller (The Keeper) and featuring a brilliant ensemble cast led by Hape Kerkeling and Christoph Maria Herbst (A Family Dilemma).
At a routine general meeting of a tranquil, provincial tennis club, Heribert (Hape Kerkeling), long-time chairman of the club, and his ambitious deputy Matthias (Friedrich Mücke, Balloon) put forward a simple vote on the purchase of a barbeque grill for the next club party.
However, Melanie (Anja Knauer) unexpectedly ignites a cultural clash when she suggests buying a second grill for her doubles partner Erol (Fahri Yardim), the club’s only Turkish member, because devout Muslims cannot eat food cooked alongside pork. What starts as a thoughtful gesture quickly snowballs into a heated debate about much more than a grill but instead, roasting each other. As atheists are pitted against believers, progressives against traditionalists, soon the discussion escalates until the club is brought to the brink of collapse.
