Einfach Blumen aufs Dach
Overview: Mechanic Hannes Blaschke and his wife Maxi, who works as a bus driver, have just become happy parents of twins.

Whereas Maxi views the state carriage only as a useful means of transportation, Hannes enjoys the unusual pre-emption he is receiving for the spectacular car. Hannes, who normally is just a humble guy, starts to grate his colleagues with his new affectations. Thus, they teach him an effective lesson: They decorate the state carriage with flowers and thus bring Hannes back down to earth in a humorous way.
