This 1974 regional comedy revolves around a group of women vacationers seeking romance in the Bavarian mountains. While the women exhibit a degree of independence by traveling without their husbands, the film remains firmly rooted in traditional social structures. The production lacks depth in representing multiple aspects of identity. It emphasizes localized cultural clichés and traditional romantic pursuits without challenging established social hierarchies. Ultimately, the film serves as a conventional comedy that reinforces existing social norms rather than questioning them.

Official Synopsis
A load of excited female winter vacationers travel to the Bavarian mountains. It's going to be a turbulent time for the funny little fat director from Berlin and the other passengers. The ladies have planned for this, traveling without husbands - in the hope of finding more than a full replacement among the local lads. And none of them are disappointed, although the innkeeper is keen to ensure that his establishment remains respectable.
