Disorder at the campsite - Latest installment of 'The Bundschuh family' series - Disorder at the campground - Latest installment of "Bundshoe Family's Misadventures"
The ninth episode of the ZDF comedy series "The Bundschuhs," titled "Can the Bundschuhs save their marriage?", airs this Monday at 8:15 PM on ZDF. This episode finds the Bundschuh family embarking on a camping trip, a recurring theme in the films based on Andrea Sawatzki's novel series.
The series, written by Stefan Kuhlmann and directed by Franziska Meyer-Price, is known for its quirky, middle-class characters, situational comedy, cheeky dialogues, and excellent casting. The lead actor, Axel Milberg, recently suggested in a ZDF interview that the relationship between Gerald and Gundula, the central characters, is competitive and tense.
Gundula insists that the camping trip is vital for her and Gerald's marriage. However, she doesn't want any family members present on the campsite. Gerald, despite his dislike for camping, surprises Gundula with a camper van for the trip. Unfortunately, Gerald's mother Susanne and other members of the Bundschuh clan, including Rose, Hadi, and possibly more, arrive at the campsite, causing a stir.
Gundula's sister-in-law Rose reacts upset when she learns about the camping trip. The crisis in the Bundschuh marriage continues, with no clear resolution in sight. The location of the campsite is not specified, but it is implied to be in Berlin, where the series was primarily filmed.
Andrea Sawatzki, the author of the novel series, advises that if a marriage is unbearable, separation may be the best option. This advice seems to resonate with Gundula, who takes an online separation test and receives a disheartening result, suggesting she should leave her marriage.
Gerald's boss Manfred is also camping at the same site, adding another layer of complications to the Bundschuhs' camping trip. As the episode unfolds, viewers will learn if the Bundschuhs can indeed save their marriage, or if this camping trip will lead to more problems.
Tune in to ZDF this Monday at 8:15 PM to find out!
