Mein Onkel Theodor oder Wie man viel Geld im Schlaf verdient

The story revolves around Traugott Wurster, a somewhat lazy father who is responsible for his six sons. When Traugott mysteriously falls into a long sleep, his wife must send the children away to relatives for care.

One of the sons, Markus, is placed with his Uncle Theodor, who surprisingly becomes a positive influence. Meanwhile, Traugott's sleep leads to a unique situation where he is "rented" out to a furniture store to promote mattresses, adding an unusual twist to the storyline. With its quirky premise and engaging comedic elements, this film stands out in the genre of comedy from the 1970s.
