Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache

Theo, the lead singer of a Nazi band, is about to play the most important concert of his career. But then he is involved in a serious car accident. The driver of the car is Mahmoud, who is about to be prospected for German citizenship. Mahmoud panics and, fearing the possible consequences, commits a hit-and-run. In hospital, Theo is diagnosed with a particularly severe form of ‘foreign language accent syndrome’; he is suddenly only able to speak Arabic. Ironically, Mahmoud becomes his doctor. Theo tries to blackmail Mahmoud into teaching him German. Otherwise, Theo threatens to report Mahmoud to the police, which would jeopardise his future citizenship. Suddenly Theo's band turns up at the hospital and the situation spirals out of control.
