Der Schlüssel zum Glück

1989

König Karl poster
8.0

In an apartment building inhabited by quarrelsome divorcing singles, the energetic senior Karl Zobawa establishes good neighborly relations. Inspired by a missionary zeal, he tolerates no contradiction. He has set himself the goal of turning his neighbors, most of whom have been through divorce, back into friendly people who can live together again. To this end, he draws up a whole catalog of measures that no one would probably have submitted to if it weren't for an impending press report about the house and its residents.

Nicht verzagen, Trudchen fragen poster
4.0

A cheerfully turbulent GDR TV comedy about a group of elderly people who organize their lives with courage and cheerfulness. Trude and her male senior citizens want to redesign a dilapidated old construction trailer in their new residential area to create a nostalgic arbor. Inspired by the term "construction-related art", they also gave their house on wheels a highly artistic exterior façade. And should any problems arise during the realization of the project: "Don't despair, ask Trudchen"! After all, the whole project is just the prequel to a "wedding in old age" that the aforementioned Trude and her groom Heinz want to celebrate.

Fischzüge poster

Peter und das Einmaleins mit der Sieben poster
7.0

Peter is unwilling to learn the multiplication tables at school. He would rather work as an acrobat at the circus, just like his friend Susanne. When the class plans a trip to the circus, Peter is supposed to buy the tickets. Since he miscounts and buys one ticket less than needed, he cannot join his schoolmates. Susanne, however, comes up with an idea and lets him work in the circus arena where he is supposed to check on the arithmetic problems of a numerate donkey. When Peter fails to control the donkey, he feels deeply ashamed and has to assess that math is needed in all parts of life.
