Meanwhile, grandma Otti and her 12-year-old<br />
grandson Holger have their own very special<br />
adventures <strong>at</strong> East Berlin’s Boxhagener Pl<strong>at</strong>z.<br />
Otti has already seen five husbands off to their<br />
maker and the sixth one is not long for this life<br />
when she receives advances from the old Nazi<br />
Fisch-Winkler and the former Spartacus fighter<br />
Karl Wegner. Otti falls in love with Karl and suddenly<br />
Fisch-Winkler is dead. Holger has the<br />
makings of an am<strong>at</strong>eur sleuth and learns a lot in<br />
the process about love, the 1968 revolts and<br />

ary” secrets. This all goes well until Holger<br />
makes a mistake which puts Karl, of all people,<br />
in danger …<br />
