100 Jahre Südtirol: Der Geburtstag einer Greisin

1919, 1929, 1939 ... 2019. Auf dem Südtiroler Hof ziehen die Jahre vorbei und Knecht Natz erinnert sich. Er erzählt 100 Jahre Südtiroler Geschichte und weiß 'diese Geschichte [ist] sehr wichtig für uns, weil sie uns von unserem himmlischen Vater in die Wiege gelegt worden ist, damit wir immer daran glauben können zu wissen, wer wir sind.' Und während über 100 Jahre die Weltpolitik fortschreitet, der Krieg, Touristen und Fernsehapparate ins Land ziehen, bleibt auf dem Südtiroler Hof irgendwie immer alles gleich. '100 Jahre Südtirol' ist eine humorvolle Tour de Force durch das letzte Jahrhundert auf dem Südtiroler Hof, den es nicht gibt, aber der fast überall zu finden sein könnte. Das Personal rankt sich um Maria Hofer (Eva Kuen), die Bäuerin des Südtiroler Hofs. In zehn Szenen wird jeweils ihr 100. Geburtstag gefeiert. Um die Feierlichkeiten herum wird geredet, politisiert, geplant, gebandelt, intrigiert, gespaßt und geliebt. Als Erzähler fungiert Knecht Natz (Heinz Köfler), er ist der Outlaw, der zwar weder lesen, noch schreiben kann, aber über ein großes Gespür und eine feine Beobachtungsgabe verfügt. Es ist der wissende Beistehende auf dem Südtiroler Hof, der die Hofers kritisch beäugt und das Geschehen kommentiert.
