Fanny und die geheimen Väter
A property on Lake Ammersee including inventory plus 183,000 euros and 47 cents - Fanny Steininger is over the moon about this inheritance! A certain Walter Jeromin bequeathed it all to her. Allegedly her biological father, but the 60-year-old slob, who has just quit her job as a train attendant, more or less ignores this. After all, her dad, who once made a name for himself as the white sausage king (and regularly appears in her daydreams as an advisor), died back in 1969. However, Fanny has to fulfill one condition in order to inherit her estate, as her junior boss Tristan from the law firm Hackenbusch & Söhne informs her: She is to apply for guardianship of her supposed half-brother Elias, who lives with Asperger's syndrome.
