This popular family drama deals with the smaller and bigger problems of caretaker Martha Haslbeck living in an average quarter in the city center of Munich. Although life doesn't always treat her fair, she doesn't loose her good sense of humor. Martha has to take care of her unreasonable daughter Christa and her son-in-law Bertl, the often annoying occupants of her house and, last but not least, her lazy ex-husband Josef and his eccentric new wife Ilse.
