18/07/2023 – The day has come, Willibald Metzger marries his dream woman Danjela Djurkovic! But before the altar things take a different turn… The world premiere of “Der Metzger traut sich” will take place at the Film Festival Kitzbühel on 22 August 2023 where “Der Metzger traut sich” will be shown as the opening film of the festival in the presence of the cast, director and producers.

With “Der Metzger traut sich” Satel Film revives the popular novel character “Der Metzger”. Produced for ServusTV, the thriller is centred on the somewhat eccentric restorer Willibald Adrian Metzger (Simon Schwarz), who keeps stumbling into crimes and other turbulences. At his side are his queen of hearts Danjela Djurkovic (Valery Cheplanova) and Petar Wollnar (Christoph Krutzler) as friend and housekeeper. The script by Peter Koller is based on “Die Djurkovic und ihr Metzger”, the 8th volume of the crime book series “Der Metzger” by bestselling author Thomas Raab. The director is Michael Podogil. “Der Metzger traut sich” is scheduled to be shown on ServusTV in the second half of 2023.
