She does, however, succeed in winning the friendship of the saloonkeeper's little daughter and in captivating the owner of a large shipyard, Canton Leigh.

Mutter kommt in Fahrt

Mutter kommt in Fahrt

Eva Maria Splitt is thrilled because her busy husband Herbert is finally taking early retirement. She is less happy about his fixed idea of a six-month trip with the motorhome: Eva Maria hates camping to the death, but since Herbert looks forward to the long tour like a child, she postpones the unpleasant duty of having a word with her husband , see you later. After all, as a mother, she has her hands full - the 20-year-old son Frederik sticks his feet under his parents' table. Eva Maria is also a regular babysitter for granddaughter Luise, because the working daughter Anna and the overworked son-in-law Daniel are both very stressful. And by the way, Eva Maria is also interested in share prices, investment funds and warrants. When she hit the headlines by winning a stock market game, Daniel even offered her a job in his financial advisory firm. She gladly accepts them, because since her husband, who retired early, has put all his energies into the pedantic restructuring of the house, the household has sunk into alphabetical chaos. So finally the day of departure comes, but since Eva Maria still hasn't had the heart to tell Herbert about her aversion to camping, she has to quit her job and get into the cramped mobile home with him. Endless traffic jams, noisy motorcyclists and stuffy camping neighbors who would love to be beaten to death with a slat from their own hunter's fence make the planned pleasure trip an expected horror trip for Eva Maria: After a solid crash, she lets her husband drive on alone and first flees to hers Sister. But a clever newspaper ad - and above all the exploding biotech stocks - bring the sloping boom back into balance.
