In this original rock revue, we get to be a fly on the wall on a truly wacky farm in Wittenförden. Overworked people and highly sensitive animals sing about their joys and sorrows in the countryside. Cows vehemently rebel against classical music in the barn and demand "hard rock instead of Mozart." Three desperate pigs threaten to call Amnesty International when faced with the butcher. The Polish farmhand would love to leave the farm again, and who would have thought that the farmer's wife, Alma, used to be a fixture at the village disco? A dreamy mole longs to migrate south like a bird, and the enchanting farmer's daughter, Anja, sings about her big heart for all animals in a big cheerleader number... In short: on this farm, things really get wild.

Now it's time to stop!"

Well, this could get interesting! Grandma died very old and very happily, but she left her family such precise instructions for her funeral that they're now facing several problems: Ludwigslust Palace isn't available for Grandma's service, the undertaker they wanted is now a struggling DJ in Güstrow, waiting for his big break, half the family is allergic to Grandma's favorite flowers (which Grandma knew, of course), and the eulogist can't come because his dog has depression. But Grandma's most unfulfillable wish is for harmony and peace among her loved ones. At least for one day! As fate would have it, in the old, musty community center where the family gathers, bad jokes, generational sensitivities, weariness of change and accusations all come together, along with an irrational but latent fear of being overrun by foreigners and the arrogance of a newly acquired Berlin environment that teaches them everything that's wrong with the people back home in East Germany. If Grandma had known that, she wouldn't have died.
