Overview

This quirky episodic comedy weaves together three plotlines centered around the employees of a car garage, with some unexpected fairytale elements to get things moving. A woodland fairy convinces shy bookkeeper Piel to suddenly start driving his Trabi far above the speed limit.

And a spirit named “Car Accident” offers to warn owner Sengebusch about upcoming traffic accidents so he can make money by always being the first on the scene.
