Story: Franz von Kobell's story of Brandner Kaspar, published in 1871 in the "Fliegenden Blättern," is a classic of Bavarian storytelling and language. Several playwrights have adapted the material for the stage, most successfully Kobell's grandnephew 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. With cherry brandy, he gets him drunk and then cheats him at cards - the prize: another 18 years of life. On his 75th birthday, he throws a big party, but dark clouds of misfortune gather. For Brandner's beloved granddaughter Marei is desperate: she loves the poacher Florian, who wants to shoot a chamois that day. When she learns that the jealous hunter Simmerl is pursuing him, she wants to warn Florian and falls off the mountains herself. At 24, Marei arrives in the Bavarian heaven, a heaven full of white sausages, card games, eternal joys - and without Prussians. For Brandner, however, life no longer brings joy: 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.
