A Taxi Driver in Heaven – Ticket Raffle for the Film's Release.
What happens when a Bavarian taxi driver and a cantankerous soul lands in heaven—and there, of all places, encounters soy manna and yoga to the strains of harp music? This question is posed by the film "A Munich Man in Heaven – Death Is Only the Beginning," in which director David Dietl, inspired by the well-known source material, tells an independent story in the here and now.
At the center is the taxi driver Wiggerl, played by Maximilian Brückner. A car accident initially ends his earthly life—at least theoretically. For in the afterlife it quickly becomes clear that heaven has little to do with Wiggerl's notions. Instead of beer, brass-band music and Stammtisch culture, he is greeted by spiritual serenity, vegan fare, and an atmosphere that more closely resembles a yoga retreat. For the cantankerous Munich resident, it's a real ordeal.
A Munich man between heaven and the Isar
The heavenly administration responds pragmatically. To restore calm, the authorities send Wiggerl back to Earth. His task: to put his own karma account in order. If he succeeds, he may stay.
However, it's not that simple. On Earth, only one person can see and hear him: his daughter Toni, played by Momo Beier. For everyone else, the returnee remains invisible. Toni is initially not very enthusiastic about her father's sudden appearance. In his lifetime, Wiggerl hardly cared about her and her mother—an old score to settle that now looms. Toni's mother is played by Hannah Herzsprung.
What do you do with a second chance?
The film uses this setup for a story about second chances and late realizations. Wiggerl has to deal not only with his own behavior, but also win back his daughter's trust. Only gradually does he begin to understand what his mission is really about and how important it is to truly use the precious time on earth.
Director Dietl, who has already directed films such as "Feste & Freunde – A Toast to Us!" and the series "Good Friends – The Rise of FC Bayern", relies on a mix of Bavarian humor and familial undertones. The screenplay is by Marcus Pfeiffer.
In addition to Brückner, the film brings together an ensemble that includes many familiar faces: among others Marcel Mohab as Wiggerl's friend Lucky, Michaela May as Toni's grandmother, as well as Heiner Lauterbach, Simon Pearce, Sigi Zimmerschied, Robert Palfrader and Maxi Schafroth. Olli Schulz and Ina Müller are also part of the cast. The film runs 90 minutes and opens in cinemas on May 14, 2026. Thus a comedy emerges that plays with Bavarian local color, while also posing a classic question: What do you do with a second chance when it suddenly stands at your doorstep—or appears in a taxi.
The theatrical release of the film "A Munich Man in Heaven – Death Is Only the Beginning" is on May 14. The distributor has provided us with ten pairs of cinema tickets for the film, which we will raffle. Please email us by May 6 with the keyword "Münchner im Himmel" along with your name and full address to redaktion@taxi-heute.de. The drawing of the tickets will take place under notarial supervision.
