Underground director Lothar Lambert steps up to a slightly more mainstream comedy line in this uneven story about a wacky, middle-class family who go to their Mediterranean coastal home for a yearly summer vacation. The mother (Ulrike S.) is fascinated by an Iranian masseur, and the father becomes interested in a young, mute waiter -- while the teenage son and daughter take their parents' behavior in stride, because they know that sooner or later, everything will return to what passes for normal in their home.
