»Helga, quick, the Russians are coming!« In 1945, grandma Helga is an adolescent and vies with her beautiful sister Inge for the favour of the occupying forces. In 1955, Helga is sent to the countryside. There, she is supposed to marry the village innkeeper. Neither Helga nor the innkeeper’s wife is happy with this arrangement. In 1989, the enterprising grandma organises bus trips to Hungary to smuggle tons of meat across the border. Already over eighty, she then sets sail and competes with her granddaughter to attract the attention of the cruise ship’s captain. Lisa Eckhart takes a wild ride through post-war history, breaking all taboos in her intelligent, scathing, highly polished and hysterically funny story.
