The successful TV presenter Lisa Wartberg has little time in her busy everyday life to visit her mother, Maria, in the old people's home. As a result, Maria decides together with fellow resident Otto Staudach to put an end to her misery and fulfil a long-cherished dream: a transatlantic crossing to New York. Lisa and Axel (Otto's son) set off together in search of their adventurous parents, despite a mutual dislike for each other. At the latest when they all land on the cruise ship together, the comedy really takes off. Vibrant, intelligent and moving, this musical featuring the legendary songs of Udo Jürgens is a tonic for the soul.
