Der Kaiser von Schexing

2008–2011 · 5 seasons

A gentle, wry look at small-town life where stubborn idealism meets village politics, pleasant and unhurried with a soft comic edge.

Genres
Drama, Comedy
Overview
Andreas Kaiser returns to his Bavarian hometown of Schexing after around 15 years. The mayoral elections are coming up, but there is no one who wants to take over the office. Municipal treasurer Nelz and town hall manager Rosi Specht see Andreas as the ideal candidate. Inexperienced as he is, they believe they have an easy game with him. A mistake, as it soon turns out. No less stubborn than his father, farmer Ludwig Kaiser, Andreas throws himself into his work, develops unusual ideas and slowly but surely begins to turn the idyllic village upside down. Which doesn't meet with everyone's approval.
