Die Putzfraueninsel

Berlin student Irma plays the balalaika in a gay choir, is having an affair with her married psychotherapist and is getting on quite well with her life. She works as a cleaner in the villa of judge Dr. Schwarz. But her life is thrown into turmoil when she discovers that the lady of the house is holding her mother-in-law Nelly captive in the cellar. Irma quickly frees the old lady and takes her into her own home for the time being. As soon as Nelly regains consciousness, she launches a campaign of revenge against her daughter-in-law, giving Irma a million in cash and the villa where Irma had been cleaning the day before. Nelly herself disappears to Mallorca, the island of cleaning ladies. Irma, who has grown fond of the lively old woman, travels after her...
