Overview:

Dad is dead. For years he wanted nothing more to do with his children because they didn't agree with his lifestyle. Now daughter Linda alerts the three brothers Joschi, Jakob and Uli, and they all gather together with their spouses Fred and Franziska at the deathbed, which in this case is a new red sofa in the middle of the living room of the family home. The father, a former head physician, widowed for years and suffering from Parkinson's disease, had developed an exuberant old-age virility in which his nurse played no small role.
