review
Charly Koke writes: “Of course, the characters also experience“ strokes of fate ”such as relationships that fall apart or the death of loved ones. Realistically, if very briefly, is shown how they manage to deal with it. Most of the story is very humorous, easy and relaxed, the 'strokes of fate' concern the smaller part, but they are also described loosely, with the appropriate seriousness and appropriate. "
