action
One day Jarl-Kulle Düwel wins a holiday stay for two at the Baltic Sea in a competition . After some deliberation, he decides to donate this profit to his parents so that they can relax from everyday stress. The hotel stay is combined with a wellness holiday - ideal for Beate and Walter Düwel, who is concert master at the Berlin Opera , to escape the hustle and bustle for once.
The almost eighteen-year-old Heide is entrusted with the supervision of the younger siblings. In addition, Grandma Düwel should occasionally check on the children's welfare. To ensure the supply, the parents leave their children economic money for three weeks. But the children develop a different plan: They decide to only eat ravioli and with the money they save to buy beautiful things that they have always wanted. Since the entire family loves ravioli, this does not seem to be a problem for the children in advance.
For example, Jarl-Kulle, who sees himself as a budding bestselling author, receives a typewriter, while Branka acquires a full set of roller hockey equipment and continues to train hard. The ravioli experiment goes well for a few days, but then the monotonous menu gets on the nerves of the children. Since you've spent almost all of the money, you have to come up with something. So they organize z. B. a "bring-along party". In particular, the smart Pepe, the baby of the family, shows great ingenuity and quickly makes friends with the sausage stall owner in the street. Meanwhile, Jarl-Kulle hooks up with girl after girl in the hope that she would cook for him and his siblings. He soon got the nickname "Ravioli-Casanova" .
Life without parents turns out to be difficult with increasing duration; Chaos breaks out again and again, and accidents such as the overflowing dishwasher or an exploding pressure cooker ultimately force them to even partially renovate the apartment. Fortunately, for such cases, the submissive friend of the eldest sister Heide - Max-Leo - is always on hand. Ms. Nettelbeck, the Düwels' neighbor, is just as helpful.
The parents spend their vacation a little differently than planned: Walter Düwel does not think about going to the beach or even doing sports. He is at war with Dr. Klotz and the chambermaid Lorchen, who snub each other about his constant escapades, but especially about his cigarette consumption. While his wife is busy doing sports, Düwel is working on a new symphony . As it soon turns out, not without success.
Running gags of the series were the wardrobe, which constantly collapsed, Pepe's barricading in the bathroom and the fact that Heide kept getting ravioli on her (mostly recently washed) hair. The very different and sometimes unusual first names of the four children are explained by the fact that the parents used the country in which they last vacationed when choosing a name.
