Synopsis

For two years Horst has been collecting his dead grandmother’s retirement pension to help make ends meet. Everything runs smoothly until a local politician announces he will be coming by to officially wish the 95-year-old a happy birthday. Without thinking twice, his friend Toni “borrows” an old lady from the hospital as a stand-in. But instead of just any old lady, he has unintentionally grabbed the famous actress Elfriede Ott, which leads to a series of mix-ups and complications.
