‘Humorous film activism against the beer-serious car lobby’
Marian Wilhelm, DER STANDARD, 22 May 2024

‘Subversively ecological: ‚Piggy Bank’ succeeds in drawing attention to the ecological catastrophe on a small scale with a laugh and a more than stale aftertaste.’
Otto Friedrich, Furche, 22 May 2024

‘Christoph Schwarz hits a nerve with his first feature-length film: in ‚Piggy Bank’, he tells of the contradiction between personal desires for a happy, secure life and political action. The film illustrates what is known as ambiguity tolerance: a person’s ability to tolerate ambiguous or contradictory situations. But also how to act. The audience learns in ‘Piggy Bank’ about many initiatives that actually exist and take on local problems.’
