synopsis
The title of this slapstick comedy, Koko Flanel, is apparently a takeoff on the famous name of deceased fashion designer Coco Chanel. In the story an odd-looking, dimwitted lad (popular comedian Urbanus) whose previous job experience involves selling bird houses, lands a fifteen-year contract as a model with a top advertising agency. Impeturbable and probably incapable of understanding what's going on anyway, the lad wants to marry the production assistant at the agency who signed him to the contract, so that he can fulfill a deathbed promise to his father to have some children, and behave at least as well as his older brother, a policeman.
