DREI (THREE)
1995 / Comedy
SUMMARY
Three men are sitting up to their necks in a jam.
Berni (31), constantly gets slapped by his girlfriend. This begins every day at the breakfast table. He sees only one way out. He must leave this life. Berni looks for a high bridge that crosses a river.
Tomi (31), has just married. His bride has been waiting at home a long time when the groom turns up home drunk in the early hours of the morning.
The bride takes Tomi’s key and chases him out to the devil.
n
Harri (31) has a bad habit. He does not use the toilet as it should be used. Sitting on the toilet seat. He prefers, to pee standing up. This is unbearable for his girlfriend: Harry must go!
On the bridge Berni lays down his farewell letter. Clothed only with trunks, he stares into the depths.
The drunken Tomi arrives at the bridge and he is glad to have found a drinking partner. But Bernie does not want to drink.
The trio is completed by Harri. He noted immediately that Bernie has something else in mind, than a beer-they all soak in small talk on the bridge.
Berni, however, really jumps into the river.
... and ends up jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. The world of men without women is no better.
Berni, Tomi and Harri are now living together in a shared flat. But Bernies life is no bed of roses there either. The drunken Tomi spoils Bernies coffee with his cigarette butt. And Harri pees on the toilet as usual standing up.
As Berni rants at Harri, Harri threatens Berni with something which Berni has previously received from his girlfriend: a slap in the face!
