August der Glückliche

Overview

When the heart-sick bus driver August is forced into involuntary retirement, he decides to gamble away his severance pay at the casino. But he wins: a million euros! Looking for a person who truly loves him, August places an advertisement in the newspaper: Millionaire is looking for a loving wife who will give him an heir! The pretty Sonja answers. She is supposed to give August a child, in exchange for the child inheriting the assets. What Sonja August is keeping quiet about: She is already pregnant and in acute financial trouble. But August's relatives also sense their chance at the million.
