- DirectorAron LehmannStarsChristoph Maria HerbstAdam BousdoukosAkilas KarazisisThe Germans are coming. To snoop, pry and inspect once again, because the Greek are always under suspicion to lie, cheat and scam. And rightfully so. Jörg Geissner, an employee of the Munich based AVO-Bank arrives on the island of Paladiki, to check on the registered securities of a credit granted years ago by his bank. His suspicion: the registered securities - a hospital and a power generating plant - don't really exist. But the Greeks aren't stupid - they will make Geissner prove that the securities don't exist. And so a completely overwhelmed Geissner embarks on an unexpected Odyssey all by himself, against the rest of the island. His constant companion being the shrewd German-Greek gigolo Panos, who will see to it that Geissner's search for the power-plant will get him nowhere. In the meantime Paladiki's Mayor Spyros will desperately try to conjure something up, which would maybe look like a power plant, at least at night and with the help of a few drink and then some more drinks. Losing the loan would be a catastrophe for the already destitute island and would mean certain bankruptcy. A frantic race ensues on the island of Paladiki, while a decrepit sheepfold is haphazardly turned into - what might hopefully look like - a power plant, while at the same time the fastidious auditor Geissner and the freedom-loving man-about-town (or better -island) Panos get to know each other a little better and somehow also begin to like each other.

- DirectorWolfgang MurnbergerStarsJoachim FuchsbergerJan Josef LiefersUrsula StraussAfter their big hit "Live is Life", "Rocco and die Herz Pacmacher" savored their fame with countless appearances. But even if you feel younger with your music, you haven't become. After the weakness of a band member, the group, especially Degenhardt and Sissy, decide to end the tour. Rocco takes note of the heavy heart. And so you return to the senior citizens' residence where Rocco's Flamme Marina is now the home manager. The gentle Marina has stopped the hard tour of her predecessor Mrs. Glck, but now the pendulum is swinging violently in the other direction. The old people are treated like small children. You tinker with each other, you play "funny" board games, you understand everything and everyone. But they are not treated like responsible adults. Revolutionaries like Degenhart and Sissy see no future here. "Heaven should wait" she always says after a song she picked up on the radio. They want to live self-sufficiently and be treated with respect. You spin the idea of a place for old people, where everyone still has something to contribute and where their brains won't rust. When they find out that the home is about to be sold, Degenhart has an idea. The residents should buy the shop and then design it as they see fit. The spontaneous cheers ebb when they find out what the property is supposed to cost. Such a setback cannot discourage a Degenhart Schagowetz. The "pacemakers" must have made massive amounts of money with their CDs and gigs. Where is that actually? The way to Rocco ends in disillusion. The banking crisis has ruined his investment strategy. There is nothing left. He also has stress with Marina. The relationship has been in crisis since she took over the management of the home. He's afraid of getting caught between the two fronts. Degenhard has an idea. The "pacemakers" have to be among the people again. I would have laughed if they couldn't manage another hit that solves all of their problems. Sissy and her new friends at the nursing home enthusiastically agree. Rocco thinks the idea is crazy. But now it is Marina who realizes her mistakes and carries Rocco away again to a big performance by "Rocco and the Pacemakers" with her new hit "Heaven should wait".
