6 auf See (2000)

The comedy film between Caribbean, Atlantic, and the Mediterranean! A funny and bizarre comedy experience on board of the dream ship MS Melody with six chaotic Franconians – delightfully comically between pure nonsense and sparkling wit. Plus, dreamlike pictures from the Caribbean, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean Sea! Heißmann and Rassau in triplicate: As the Franconian couple Annelise and Georg Kaltengruber, as the two widows Mariechen and Waltraud, and of course as the goofball duo Hepp and Depp. And what all happens when a small bunch of Franconians embarks on a snow-white cruise ship is at times completely ludicrous.
