Gestatten, Bestatter

Overview

Two shady businessmen set out to shake up the West Berlin funeral industry - with unconventional ideas and questionable methods. To this end, they take over the business of a long-established mortician who wants to retire. One of them also hooks up with the colorless daughter of the chairman of the local mortician's association in order to get money and his father's customer list from her. Meanwhile, his partner has to deal with his wife and their equally nagging children. And then the establishment strikes back. At the same time, the unmarried newcomer to the industry discovers that he does have real feelings for the association chairman's daughter.
