This film was a great success in Germany in the year 1990. That was the time when the Berlin Wall and the iron curtain just fell down. Director Peter Timm was right on the tracks and could fast present this movie -with popular, mostly TV-Actors of East and West Germany. It features a East-German Family, enjoying the new freedom and following on J.F.W Goethes steps to their first holiday in Italy. An odyssey with a lot of lame jokes and not very impressive actors - like the most successful german comedies.
