What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1960: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

The young medical student Klaus Bach has married the love of his life, Irene, and lives with her and their eternally screaming offspring in a small one-room apartment in his parents' house. So things are tight and everyone's nerves are on edge. What's more, the parents' well-intentioned advice is seriously disrupting the young couple's marital bliss.
