Schweigen ist Gold

Julius Stern has achieved international renown as an astrophysicist. He takes care of quantum mechanical problems with his left hand, and his studies to improve the theory of relativity inspire respect even to his Berlin institute director Clemens Winkelmann. But like many geniuses, the good Julius is extremely absent-minded, i.e. only partially operational in everyday life. A fact that mildly amuses his children Paul and Lisa, known as "Sternchen", but drives his also working, overburdened wife Ulrike to despair. When the family moves into a new house, Ulrike's constant stress turns into an open crisis. While renovation work, a surprising promotion and even more surprising visits to relatives break in over the smart woman, Julius once again withdraws into the laboratory with his measuring devices, forgetting appointments and appointments. Until he leaves his daughter at the train station after a school trip and Ulrike bursts her collar: she kicks her husband in front of the door. The interventions of Julius' petty criminal brother Zacharias and Ulrike's mother do nothing to ease the situation. In the end, even the matter itself seems to be seized by general madness: in the Stern house, objects disappear only to reappear in the most impossible places. A real phenomenon that can only be explained as follows: Julius, without knowing it, discovered the principle of teleportation - "beam me up, Scotty!" What happens if you apply the physics of "Raumschiff Enterprise" to the everyday life of a four-person, double-income Berlin family? It can lead to some turbulence - This charming comedy by the experienced TV director Sabine Landgraeber is full of absurd ideas and potential for chaos, but can rely on their bridging team: Friedrich von Thun, Simone Thomalla, Ingo Naujoks, Charles Brauer and Ruth Maria Kubitschek always find the right switch in the end.
