action

Episode 1: The Music Box

The old Mr. Friebe owns a small shop in which he sells pretty much everything a normal citizen needs for himself and his household. Hardly a wish remains unfulfilled. Only one little girl is not satisfied with the product offered. She is aiming for a music box which, according to the appendix, is actually supposed to reproduce the melody of “A little man stands in the forest”. But to hear is a completely different song. This annoys the shopkeeper, too, and so Mr. Friebe goes to the music box importer to get exactly the product she wants for his youngest customer

Episode 2: The Cello

Mrs. Eberts likes to play on her cello, but unfortunately it is pretty bad. Her husband knows how to sing a song about it, but out of love for her he is silent and endures her cacophony. The neighbor, on the other hand, proves to be far less tolerant and hums regularly against the wall of the noisy house. Mr Eberts goes over to him - but not to fiddle the sensitive man's opinion, but because Eberts has a little more calm with him, a friend, from the scratching of his old woman. Finally, Mr. Eberts realizes that he must finally pour pure wine for his wife regarding her “musical skills”, but the circumstances do not allow her to listen to him.

Episode 3: The Organ

Mr. Weber lives in a small town and earns his living as a small organist at the church there. His eternal dream is to buy a really big organ with a lot of pipes. One day a new organ is actually delivered to the sacred building and installed there. The old weaver is absolutely thrilled, but also a little intimidated by the giant instrument. Will he be able to master it according to the quality? Weber drank plenty of courage and first played a waltz instead of a Christian chant.

Reception and classification

After his phase of rebellion against the role cliché of the indestructible "little man from the street", which he largely adhered to after around 100 films, which he tried to counter with literary roles of bulky and desperate characters in his early television films (1968 to 1973), Rühmann returned for the Hamburg production company Gyula Trebitschs returned to the tried and tested with three episode films at the end of the 1970s. “He no longer played tragic or failing characters, at most melancholy doubters or seekers who, in the end, were definitely helped. With these age roles, he came closer to the stories of the 'little man', which ended in a conciliatory manner and rarely dismissed the viewer with a conflicted worldview. "
