Musterknaben
Synopsis
The friends Bassi and Edwin, both of them construction workers, are the black sheep of their brigade. They are constantly late for work and basically unreliable. Furthermore, Bassi and Edwin neglect their housemates, as do, in fact, all the brigade′s members. After they meet the pretty girls Thea and Susi, however, they start changing their attitudes. The young ladies are part of same living community, and when Bassi and Edwin pick them up for a date they barge into a turbulent residents meeting. For fun, Bassi and Edwin pretend to be the expected officials – not knowing that they are going to have trouble to get out of these responsible roles.
