Papa und die Braut aus Kuba
A greying company boss from a Bavarian town falls in love with a tropical beauty. For his seventieth birthday, his two children want to give their father something special and surprise company boss Clemens Filzhofer with a vacation to Cuba. "Nobody needs a trip like that," grumbles the fussy senior from the small Bavarian town. Far from it: when the widowed patriarch returns from the tropics, he introduces his new, much younger girlfriend Esperanza to the baffled clan. And they are to be married in a month's time.
