Die Putzfraueninsel

The Cleaning Ladies Island

25-year-old Irma′s life between cultivated disorientation, a disturbed love life and her enthusisatic balalaika playing in the local gay men′s choir has just settled into an amusing form of boredom when she makes a gruesome discovery in her new cleaning job in the villa of the lady judge Dr. Schwartz:

old Nelly, the mother-in-law of Dr. Schwartz, is being kept prisoner in a dirty, dark hole of a cellar. In a spontaneous action, Irma frees Nelly from captivity and takes her first to her small roof apartment. But Nelly is scarcely able to stand on her own two feet again than she is rareing to go and turns Irma′s life topsy-turvy. Irma doesn′t even recognise herself when she finds herself going along with the lively old lady on a deliciously revengeful plot against the criminal judge. At the same time, she seduces Dr Schwartz′s cocoa brown adoptive son and ends up being given a million in cash by Nelly as well as the villa where she had previously cleaned. But the only thing is that it is a parting gift because Nelly goes off unexpectedly to Majorca where she wants to fulfil one last beautiful dream from her youth before passing on.
