[edit] Synopsis

Paul Winkelmann is single and running the family's furniture and decoration business. Despite of his age (he is 56 years old), he still maintains a close relationship with his mother who cooks for him and shows little understanding for him renting his own apartment.

When he meets Margarethe Tietze, a practicing psychologist, the two attempt to join their expertises in order to improve on consulting potential furniture customers with psychological troubles. After an afternoon of coffee and pastries and a business trip to Italy, Margarethe finally introduces Paul to her parents who initially assume he was a patient of hers. In the mean time, Paul's jealous mother found a sublessee - very much to the dislike of Paul. Margarethe's family's return visit at Paul's mother's apartment ends with a debacle.
