Die sieben Schwaben

Swabian satire about saving Swabia from impending doom at Wortkino - Dein Theater.

Seven Swabians, each a representative of their own region, each with a distinctive weakness, arm themselves and set out to save their homeland from imminent destruction. This fictitious threat stimulates the imagination of the seven Swabians to crazy realizations, as their minds are unable to distinguish reality from delusion. The myth of the seven Swabians is a hearty satire about braggadocio, delusion, stupidity and monstrous idiocy. After defeating a phantom, deluded dolts believe themselves to be in possession of true intellect and prize-worthy heroism and, without realizing it, erect a monument to eternal stupidity.
