action
Thomas Laurends, son of a wealthy family, is horrified when his girlfriend Karin tells him through the flower that she finally wants to get married. He rushed to Hungary , where, at his father's request, he wanted to buy new horses for the family's own stud in Hamburg . He does not know that Karin has joined a tour group led by the aristocratic tour guide Alfi Trattenbach, which is also going to Hungary.
Thomas meets the young and beautiful Tery at the Hungarian stud, with whom he falls in love, but soon learns that Karin is also in Hungary. Meanwhile, Alfi Trattenbach is courting her. Thomas and Tery get closer. At a village festival where the story of the lovers Janosz and Tünde is recreated, Thomas and Tery are chosen as this couple. Thomas has to recognize Tery among various veiled women. He succeeds and they both finally spend the night together.
The next morning Thomas sees that Karin was also at the village festival and left her address in lipstick on the window of his convertible . He goes to her and confesses to having fallen in love again. They split up and say goodbye with a kiss - which Tery happens to witness. She turns away from Thomas, disappointed. He has the horses shown back to the stud and announces that he is going back to Hamburg the next day. Terrified, Tery rides away on a horse and Thomas follows her. He finally catches up with her and together they lie on the grass. He promises her to go away, but to come back.

Holidays with Piroschka had its premiere on December 31, 1965.
criticism
The filmdienst criticized holiday with Piroschka 1966 "the tormented human relationships, which are offered as a misunderstood conversation. Hardly a note is struck that is realistic, and the joke is fake. The few political remarks that are intended to establish a current reference to reality are banal and make the low intellectual effort particularly clear. "
The lexicon of international films published by film-dienst in 1990 called the film an "over-the- top comedy that wants to benefit from the earlier ' Piroschka ' success, but cannot compete in terms of form or content."
Cinema found the “role model 'I often think of Piroschka' [...] more charming”.
The Protestant Film Observer comes to the following conclusion: “A trivial script and the clumsy direction reduce the entertainment value of the film. The good cast of the female roles and a clean camera work remain impressive. "
