Eng “Both films are featuring a grandfather on his quest for fitness, doing his slow workout routine throughout the days, and then visits his family for Christmas. When his granddaughter (or grandson) appears, he’s able to lift her/him up so he/she can place the star at the top of the christmas tree. The DocMorris video has so far clocked up more than 6.5 million views on YouTube! What a shame considering it's the remake of an already existing Italian scenario!”

Fr « Les deux films présentent un grand-père dans sa quête de remise en forme, faisant sa gymnastique au fil des jours, puis qui va rendre visite à sa famille pour Noël. Lorsque sa petite-fille (ou son petit-fils) apparaît, il est capable de le / la soulever pour qu'il / elle puisse placer l'étoile au sommet du sapin. La vidéo de DocMorris a déjà enregistrée plus de 6,5 millions de vues sur YouTube et a reçu des commentaires élogieux dans de grands médias internationaux! Quel scandale vu que c'est le remake quasi inchangé d'un scénario italien déjà existant! »

    It is evidently a case of plagiarism at the expense of Febo Film and Paolo Tresoldi.

    I would like to point that althought the 2017 video was made by director Paolo Tresoldi, it wasn’t produced by FEBO FILMS, but by I DIFFICILI, which was a production company in Italy that doesn’t exist anymore. The only source for his video should be Paolo Tresoldi’s Vimeo link : https://vimeo.com/295188686

    Carissimi amici e colleghi, innanzitutto grazie a tutti di cuore per il supporto.

    Nei giorni scorsi abbiamo avuto modo di confrontarci con l’agenzia Jung von Matt , abbiamo trovato un interlocutore intelligente, onesto e professionale, grazie alla loro collaborazione la situazione si è risolta amichevolmente.
    L’agenzia ha riconosciuto i diritti d’autore e ha collaborato con noi per risolvere questa spiacevole situazione.
    Si avvicina il Natale di questo difficile 2020, questo film rappresenta ancor di più la volontà da parte di tutti di affrontare con il sorriso questo momento impegnativo.
    Grazie a Stephan e tutti i ragazzi di JvM.

    Quella che poteva sembrare una situazione complicata si è invece rivelata un’altra bella storia di Natale.

    Paolo Tresoldi

    Dear friends and colleagues, first of all thank you very much for your support.

    In recent days, we had the opportunity to meet with the @JungvonMatt agency, we found an intelligent, honest and professional interlocutor, thanks to their collaboration the situation was resolved amicably.
    The agency has recognized copyrights and worked with us to resolve this unfortunate situation.
    The Christmas of this difficult 2020 is approaching, this film represents even more the will on the part of everyone to face this challenging moment with a smile.
    Thanks to Stephan and all the guys from JvM.

    What might have seemed a complicated situation turned out to be another beautiful Christmas story.

    You guys are fucking morons. You honestly think this is a copy just because someone has the same idea? People are so full of themselves. No one ever heard of this other film!! The people, who did the other film are total nobodies. This is such typical bullshit. Every time a film gets a lot of success, some idiot feels jealous and claims plagiarism. The Italian film is super boring and super bad. Just because you can find similar shots means nothing. This is so pathetic. This whole website is pathetic.

    @Leo Malt Thank for your comment. I respect your point of view even if I have the feeling that your language is a bit too rude and offensive.
    It’s pretty hard to deny that it’s not just a screenshot lookalike, the whole story / scenario is identical! I agree on the fact that German film is better executed, but it’s very excessive to assume that the other one is « super bad ». It’s your own view and not a reality in any way.
