Herrliche Zeiten

The wealthy and rather bored landscape architect Evi Müller-Todt lives with her plastic surgeon husband Claus in their comfortable villa. One day, in a burst of red-wine-induced whimsy, Claus takes out an ad for a new cleaner: "Slave wanted (m/f)". Astonished by the leather-clad figures that soon gather at his door, he realises his ad has been taken quite literally. At the behest of a shocked Evi, Claus sends the applicants away, only to receive an unexpected courtesy call from Bartos. Well-groomed, educated and ready to serve, Bartos signals his willingness to enter into a more traditional master-servant relationship. After some initial snags, the Müller-Todts begin to enjoy the heavenly pampering they receive from their new servant, who is soon joined by his young wife, Lana and the situation gets increasingly out of hand.
