Frauen sind Männersache
Margit Köhler is stressed and annoyed at constantly having to clean up after her husband and grown-up children. She wants to take a little break from her everyday life as a housewife over the weekend. She asks her brother Walter Riedel to look after her apartment and her family during this time. But for Margit's husband Gerhard, housekeeping is a foreign concept and doesn't want to believe what his brother-in-law is now telling him. He had been in such a good mood until this moment and now this - no dinner ready. The three children are a little more understanding, but don't feel like getting into the kitchen either. To Gerhard's annoyance, the fridge is empty and he can't even find his beloved after-work beer. But going shopping himself on Friday is beneath him. He also has to repair the television for his neighbor Reuter.
