Hick, an unemployed chimney sweep from Munich, has an illegitimate child, Su, with the grumpy convent sister. Su adores her father and dreams of a life together in Tibet. After abolishing the church tax, drinking vast quantities of beer and symbolically separating from his wife, Hick is finally able to “rid the earth of himself”: he is struck dead by lightning at the Viktualienmarkt and Su is stabbed to death by her jealous mother. Shortly thereafter, both are reborn in the Tibet of 1662 and find love for each other through Buddhist enlightenment and contemplation.

Achternbusch, poet, poacher, and Bavarian wants to leave his native land.
Quote:
In this somewhat experimental satirical black comedy, a renowned and sensitive poet and writer is fed up with the crudenesses of his native Bavaria and, in a well-publicized move, says he refuses even to die there. Instead, followed by reporters, he retires to Greenland. There, he has a reunion with his girlfriend, and gains some idea of the current situation of his wife before he dies.

Achternbuschs zweiter Film
Kurzbeschreibung
Zwei Münchner wollen, von Leben und Liebe ermattet, der quälenden Enge ihrer Heimat entfliehen, indem sie den Atlantik durchschwimmen. Achternbusch erzählt in hintersinnig-vertrackten Bildern und Dialogen von der Utopie eines anderen Lebens und von den Mühlsteinen des deutschen Alltags, die den Helden am Halse hängen – nachdem sprichwörtlich gewordenen Motto: “Du hast keine Chance, aber nutze sie!”

Synopsis
[In Hick’s Last Stand] we witness yet another incarnation of a Last Bavarian Mohican, incoherently staggering across the badlands of South Dakota and Wyoming in white cowboy boots, black leather jacket, and a feather on his hat. Without dialogue, without other players besides Herbert Achternbusch, and with the most minimal narrative progression, the film consists only of an image track over which we hear Hick’s extended monologue, a declaration of love to the absent Mary, occasionally interrupted by songs by Judy Garland, Native American chants, and classical music. Here Achternbusch’s fear of filmically subjugating other countries or people finds its most radical expression: a jerky camera captures endless images of passing trucks, empty landscapes, abandoned houses; frequent zooms and out-of-focus shots suggest the work of a hobby filmer, as does the grainy quality of the image that appears to be blown-up super-eight material. (The credits list Herbert Achternbusch as partly responsible for the camerawork.) This is Indian territory, Hick’s voice reminds us, but, except for a furtive look at a Pow Wow, the natives are absent. “People who cannot endure injustice, will not survive,” he explains.

Synopsis
In Achternbusch’s first feature, an anxious teacher (played, as is the lead role in all his films, by the director) sits in a beer garden on the hill of the Andechs monastery. While flies drown in his mug of beer, he confronts a life of failure: the wife he ignored, the child he neglected, the teaching duties he has shirked, and his doomed efforts at winning tenure from school officials. Only a dream from the past – the memory of a former liaison with a film star with whom he shared “the Andechs feeling, a feeling that we are not alone”, provides sustenance. Despite an unexpected series of events, longing in Achternbusch’s world ultimately remains stronger than fulfillment and thirst better than beer.
