Das Gesellenstück

Das Gesellenstück

1986 · 75 min · ★ 9.0 · Comedy

Otto Kimmel had a long career as a confectioner. Now he is a pensioner and primarily a grandpa. In his house, where three generations live under one roof, Otto is the restless soul; this sometimes causes problems, but also brings a lot of joy. For his grandchildren, Grandpa Otto is a "fragrant buddy" because he is up for a lot of fun and initiates the craziest things. To Martha's chagrin, however, he sometimes oversteps his grandfatherly "sphere of competence". Amusing events and entanglements unfold over 75 minutes, and the "Gesellenstück" (journeyman's play) finally results in something that even Grandpa Kimmel is more than surprised by.

She wants to take a little break from her everyday life as a housewife over the weekend. She asks her brother Walter Riedel to look after her apartment and her family during this time. But for Margit's husband Gerhard, housekeeping is a foreign concept and doesn't want to believe what his brother-in-law is now telling him. He had been in such a good mood until this moment and now this - no dinner ready. The three children are a little more understanding, but don't feel like getting into the kitchen either. To Gerhard's annoyance, the fridge is empty and he can't even find his beloved after-work beer. But going shopping himself on Friday is beneath him. He also has to repair the television for his neighbor Reuter.
