action
A family, a night, a murder and a forbidden passion. When the Ullich family get together and their deceased ancestors appear, events come thick and fast in their Viennese palace. While young Philip and his cousin struggle for control of the family business, the deceased ancestors reveal how the Ullichs lived and loved.
Wants in the moment Erika Bode sell their shares in the company to Philip Ullich Ullich to her son Jochen, the striking fraternity has become to disinherit, she dies. But only a few minutes later she is obviously alive again and still signs the handover contract. This is the trigger for many more resurrections. More and more ancestors of the Ullichs appear, around the age at which they died, and in the complete suspension of time, the history of the Ullich's fortune is revealed. In the end, the Ullichs turn out to be Aryanization winners.
Philip also falls in love with his beautiful grandmother, who died young - which prompted Jochen to wonder whether incest or necrophilia was worse.
A total of around 50 "ancestors" are visible. Most remain pale and have no influence on what is happening - apparently they died too long ago and no longer have any effect in the present. However, the Ullichs of the last three generations still have a corresponding influence on this, which they also assert.
