Südsee, eigene Insel

Deutschland 1998/1999 Spielfilm

Our Island in the South Pacific

Albert is a successful, upwardly-mobile young executive. He seems to have everything it takes: an attractive wife, a pretty daughter, good friends and a smart home in the leafy suburbs. When Albert falls victim to an investment fraud, his idyll is destroyed overnight.

 

He loses his money, his career prospects are up in smoke and, to add insult to injury, he discovers his neighbor and best friend at work has been scheming behind his back. Instead of departing for their holiday in the south Pacific, the family is forced to hide out in the cellar of their own house.
