And so you return to the senior citizens' residence where Rocco's Flamme Marina is now the home manager. The gentle Marina has stopped the hard tour of her predecessor Mrs. Glck, but now the pendulum is swinging violently in the other direction. The old people are treated like small children. You tinker with each other, you play "funny" board games, you understand everything and everyone. But they are not treated like responsible adults. Revolutionaries like Degenhart and Sissy see no future here. "Heaven should wait" she always says after a song she picked up on the radio.

There is nothing left. He also has stress with Marina. The relationship has been in crisis since she took over the management of the home. He's afraid of getting caught between the two fronts. Degenhard has an idea. The "pacemakers" have to be among the people again. I would have laughed if they couldn't manage another hit that solves all of their problems.

But now it is Marina who realizes her mistakes and carries Rocco away again to a big performance by "Rocco and the Pacemakers" with her new hit "Heaven should wait".

Of course, as a screenwriter, I could also say in such a case that they flee into video games - but that was all too banal for me, it was too obvious "The Western also stands for something, it stands for simplification. There is good and there is bad, so pretty clear guidelines. For me, that was the clearest leap for someone for whom reality is too complex. In addition, it was of course a huge one Incentive to seriously try to make one, especially in a country where there is no infrastructure for a western. Nevertheless: WANTED is definitely not a western. That's very important. The western is only a small part of the film, a Neighborhood maybe, where a certain wishful thinking is served. Everything else is very real. To me it's a comedy, but I can also laugh at things that other people don't find funny at all. Let's put it this way: If INDIA was a comedy, then n WANTED is also one."
