Der Tischtennis-König
Directed by
2008
The overweight Rille is an outsider who is ostracised by everyone. For his school colleagues, the 16-year-old is a non-entity. Only in the ping pong hall do things change: here Rille rules over the younger players, here he is “the King of Ping Pong”. By contrast, his 13-year-old brother is charming and is respected by everyone. Despite all their differences, the brothers are very fond of each other. After all, they share the same blood – or so they believe. When Rille and Erik learn the truth about their father in their Easter holidays, they become bitter opponents in a dire fight over life and death.
