Der Rekord

The plot centers on Rico Moreno, who attempts to break the world record for continuous television viewing to fund an illegal broadcasting venture. Assisted by his friend Banana, Rico endures 240 hours in front of the screen, fueled by sandwiches, coffee, whisky, and cigarettes. As the record attempt progresses, Rico's reality begins to fade, leaving him unresponsive and disconnected from the world around him.

The film offers a unique commentary on media consumption and the effects of prolonged exposure to television. With its comedic take on an absurd premise, it resonates with audiences familiar with the 1980s cultural landscape. Collectors may appreciate the film for its distinctive narrative and the performances of its notable cast, including László I. Kish and Kurt Raab.
