action

Maxe Baumann has retired after 50 years of work and now wants to do the things that he has not yet gotten to due to lack of time.

The beautiful retirement life is far more exhausting for him than he thought: It is totally chaotic, domestic as well as family, because Maxe does anything but master the retirement life in peace. He would like to bring everything up to date: his family, his household as well as his apartment and garden.

It goes haywire, Maxe makes some serious mistakes and dropouts.

Thereupon he sadly wants to withdraw, but one person proves to be of great help: Maxes successor Erna Mischke rebuilds him and is a good friend. She even comes up with a plan to get him out of this mess.

curiosity

Although it was of course a live recording, the verses (at least in the version available today) were clearly audibly dubbed by Genia Lapuhs for the television broadcast. In addition, the words in these passages do not match the lip movements. Whether it was a case of censorship because possibly another artist was mentioned than Hauff & Henkler, who had become unpopular in the course of the Biermann affair, cannot be proven with certainty. It is also possible that slip of the tongue was simply corrected.
