"Wunderbar" takes on a new meaning in this routine satire by Bernhard Wicki about a bar that is miraculously transported by God Himself to a nearby, new location on an island. The nature of the miracle is a bit strange, but it comes in answer to Pater Malachias' prayers to get the sin-ridden place out of the center of the city. The good and naive Malachias is subtly played by Horst Bollimann. Once this miracle of relocation has occurred, the sharks and entrepreneurs, who would bilk both the faithful and the curiosity-seekers alike, crop up like an unwanted epidemic. The mercenary and the sacred clash, as many try to find deeper meaning in what has happened, and Pater Malachias starts to doubt the wisdom of his original prayer.
Em 1945, a Alemanha está sendo invadido pelos Aliados, e ninguém fica para lutar, a não ser os adolescentes. Um grupo de meninos alemães é encarregado de proteger uma pequena ponte em sua aldeia natal durante os meses finais da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Caminhões de derrotados, soldados da Wehrmacht cínicos, fogem das tropas norte-americanas que estão se aproximando, mas os meninos, cheios de entusiasmo pela ideologia nazista de "sangue e honra", ficam para defender a inútil ponte.
