synopsis
This routine fantasy-drama that centers on a woman's dream is directed by Helmut Kaeutner and begins when Lieschen Mueller (Sonja Ziemann) gets an unbelievable job offer. As her name suggests to a German audience, she is one of those women -- a bank teller in this case -- who want their romantic fantasies satisfied at the movie theater. So when a wealthy man offers her the position of personal secretary with extensive travel, new clothes, and all the perks, she has to sleep on it. When she does, she dreams that she is a super-wealthy woman already. The question is, will the dream state whether at night or on the silver screen be preferable to the reality?
