action
Pensioner Georg has been mourning his late wife Betty for five years. He neglects repairs to the house, the household, his personal hygiene, the meals. Betty just can't get out of his head. How good that at least his friend Heinrich from the old people's home visits him every day and brings canteen food with him. Georg's daughter Judith, who, unlike his son Armin, looks after him every now and then, is considering incapacitation, admission to a home and on top of that a house sale. But Georg won't let himself do that.
A six in the lottery, which he and Heinrich cannot redeem as a syndicate because the receipt was lost, they use to fool Georg's children into an unexpected fortune. From now on Georg will play the wealthy patron who will hopefully not be deported to the home. Heinrich even organizes a cleaning team for the house and a partner pro forma, all of them sprightly home residents from his senior citizens' residence, so that Georg seems sane again and Judith puts her plans on hold.
Sylva, Georg's new flame, plays her part well. She even got her own room in Georg's house. Nevertheless, Georg has great difficulty getting used to his new roommate or accepting her peculiarities. He also fears that Sylva will eventually take Betty's place. So he reacts gruffly to one of Sylva's wrongdoings. That drives Sylva out of the house. She hastily moves back to the old people's home. Alone again, Georg realizes that he misses her. He even calls it love. He recites Shakespeare verses in front of the window of the former theater actress in order to win her back. Sylva then moves into Georg's house forever, so that Judith knows her father is in good hands and no longer has to worry about taking care of him. She wants to move to New York soon .
