Story:

Franz von Kobell's story of Brandner Kaspar, published in 1871 in the "Fliegenden Blättern," is a classic of Bavarian storytelling art and language. Several dramatists have adapted the material for the stage, most successfully Kobell's great-nephew Kurt Wilhelm with "Brandner Kaspar und das ewig Leben."

Plot:

The "Boandlkramer" has a new task: he is to pick up Brandner Kaspar at the age of 72 and accompany him to the afterlife. But Brandner feels as "healthy as a fish in water" and outsmarts death. He gets him drunk with cherry brandy and then cheats him at cards - the prize: an additional 18 years of life. When he throws a big celebration on his 75th birthday, dark clouds of doom gather. For Brandner's cherished granddaughter Marei is desperate: she loves the poacher Florian, who wants to shoot a chamois on that very day. When she learns that the jealous hunter Simmerl is pursuing him, she wants to warn Florian and ends up falling in the mountains. At 24 years old, Marei arrives in Bavarian heaven, a heaven full of white sausages, card games, eternal joys - and without Prussians. On the other hand, life no longer pleases Brandner: when the "Boandlkramer" offers to show him paradise for an hour as a trial, he goes along. He is overwhelmed by the beauty in heaven and wants to stay. But first, the High Court must judge his serious sins.
