Plot Summary

The Slupetzkis are completely impoverished—their former neighbors, the Taubers, have become rich through inheritance. The Slupetzkis earn the money for their economic fresh start in a posh wellness hotel. When the Taubers unexpectedly show up, honor demands that they conceal this sad truth by any means necessary. From now on, they also pretend to be hotel guests, while continuing to toil as chambermaids and porters.
