In ANOTHER GERMAN TANK STORY, Jannis Alexander Kiefer has succeeded at all levels in poking fun at the film industry and taking even a non-expert audience with him through the skillful use of situation comedy

The remote village of Wiesenwalde is turned upside down when an American crew comes to film a series about the Second World War. Mayor Susanne (Meike Droste) in particular senses an opportunity to put her home on the tourist map and defy demographic change. Her son Tobi (Johannes Scheidweiler) is hired as a driver for the crew - nobody knows at first that he actually failed his driving test. Then, after years of absence, Bert (Roland Bonjour), a would-be journalist and the mayor's ex-boyfriend, turns up. Bert believes he can profit from the American guests. At the same time, the village elder Rosi (Monika Lennartz) is secretly planning the burial of old ideals - including her own - while her young neighbor Wolffi (Alexander Schuster) naively dreams of being discovered by Hollywood in Jenny's (Gisa Flake) village pub. When the power suddenly fails and a tank is parked in front of the mayor's house, the ambitious mammoth project in Wiesenwalde threatens to get out of hand.
