2008 · 44 min · Comedy

Georg Kaltengruber actually wanted to spend a cosy New Year’s Eve at home. But his wife Anneliese startles him with a glorious idea: She wants to re-enact ‘Dinner for One’ in Franconian, put it online, and even charge money for it. And her husband Georg is obviously supposed to participate and play James the butler. But Anneliese can’t remember the original plot quite exactly – and so, chaos is sure to follow.

Movie
A woman, whose origin and destination are unknown, walks from morning until evening through the streets, going past the crazy things of life (from the modernization of the data processing of dogs to the rationalization of the length of spaghetti), and she needs a macabre sense of humor to stand everything she sees. The daily passage of one absurdity after the other.
