Outdoor Summer Cinema Starts: Rendezvous at Rehragout (8:15 PM - 9:45 PM)
=================================================================
The small Bavarian town is once again the centre of action, as the crime comedy "Rehragout-Rendezvous" premieres. This ninth instalment in the Bavarian Eberhofer film series, based on the popular novels, follows the laid-back cop Franz Eberhofer, played by Sebastian Bezzel, as he solves mysteries in his quaint hometown.
The plot takes an unexpected turn when Grandma Oma Eberhofer, portrayed by Enzi Fuchs, refuses to continue her family care duties, causing chaos at the Eberhofer farm. The men of the family are forced to learn self-care, but this domestic upheaval is short-lived as Susi Gmeinwieser, played by Lisa Maria Potthoff, takes on the acting mayor role in Niederkaltenkirchen. Susi further disrupts the balance by reducing Franz’s position to part-time, forcing him to care for his son Pauli.
The peace is shattered when a human ear is found, leading to a complicated murder case. This twist brings Franz and his colleague Rudi Birkenberger, played by Simon Schwarz, back together as a dream team of investigators. The film masterfully combines elements of family comedy with a twisting murder mystery, set against the rural Bavarian backdrop.
"Rehragout-Rendezvous" was released on August 10, 2023, and quickly became a box office hit in Germany and Austria. It marked the best start for the franchise with over 420,000 admissions in the first four days, making it a significant contender against big international hits. The film's success is further highlighted by its popularity, being part of a summer cultural phenomenon alongside "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," jokingly called "Barbenheimhofer" by German exhibitors.
