A comedic start with heart, fitting to our theme focus Stuttgart! Look forward to the amazing Susanne Heydenreich in the title role as a lovable retired woman who has taken it upon herself to help others – whether they want to or not.

Eva Knöpfle simply can't help herself: time and again she invites sales representatives to her apartment on Stuttgart's Hasenbergsteige, but with absolutely no intention of buying anything from them. With disarming kindness, she offers the sales professionals a small snack, engages in conversation with them, shares helpful tips for work and life – and thus escapes her own loneliness.

One day, the hopelessly love-disappointed Kira and the professionally frustrated Tom meet during a sales visit at the apartment of the capable Stuttgart senior. This gives rise to a turbulent story in which Frau Knöpfle pursues a very special plan...

What is truly important in life? How does one find fulfillment – personally, professionally, and in retirement? And what helps against loneliness? With gentle humor, American author Sam Bobrick explores these big questions in this heartwarming comedy. "Eccentric characters, witty dialogue, and plenty of situational comedy," wrote the Hamburger Morgenpost: "Pure delight!"

See a local Stuttgart version in Swabian and High German – and experience an excellent ensemble featuring Stuttgart theater greats like Susanne Heydenreich, Andreas Klaue, Jörg Pauly, and Marius Hubel!
