Adams Äpfel - Premiere

In the organizer's words:

Adam's Apples

A comedy about GOOD PEOPLE and the UNFORGETTABLE

Ivan is a country priest in a small parish and devotedly cares for ex-prisoners, whom he tries to re-socialize in his very own way. Two serious criminals work in Ivan's church. Khalid, an Arab who likes to rob petrol stations and shoot people indiscriminately, and Gunnar, a former tennis pro with an addiction to alcohol and food and a penchant for not entirely legal sexual practices.

Adam, a violent neo-Nazi with a thug's visage and a picture of Hitler, joins them after a stretch in prison. Ivan leaves no stone unturned in his boundless optimism to get him back on the right track, but Adam has no sympathy for the priest's world view. He lives and acts according to the motto: "The strongest wins." The situation comes to a head, everything leads to a catastrophe, until it seems as if the Almighty himself is intervening in the events...

Two world views compete against each other in Adam's Apples: "do-gooder" versus neo-Nazi. An explosive duel, a bitter theatrical fairy tale with lots of music and black humor, about the fine line between faith and fanaticism, the power of self-deception and, last but not least, about redemption through apple pie...
