Erich Schwan simply doesn't have the heart to confess to his wife Linde that he lost his job two years ago. Instead, he looks for other solutions to cover his costs, such as the weekly check from the social welfare office for his lodger who has just emigrated to Canada or the financial contributions for various other needy residents he can think of. The welfare state offers plenty of opportunities. While Linde still believes that Erich goes to work every morning, he sets an avalanche of state assistance in motion. From old-age, invalidity, accident and early retirement pensions, bad weather, sickness, housing and child benefits to school milk, he leaves nothing out. Then one day, when an external auditor from the social services office turns up at his door, the avalanche threatens to collapse on him ...
Michael Cooney's hilarious comedy of mistaken identity and transformation is taken straight from life, full of surprises, situation comedy and quick-witted puns. Not a dry eye is left in the house.
