There is no major continuing plot, instead the episodes consist of Hermanni talking about his life and daily events in a funny, clownish, somewhat childish way.His comedic antics are further increased by the comically misproportioned props and his way of fumbling over difficult words.Hermanni is especially fond of his dear old mother and the pancakes with strawberries she makes, and he often phones her to see how she's doing.Because the show predates actually feasible real-world video communication by more than a decade, this only adds to the comedy.For most of the show, both Sylvia and Max remained unseen characters, with Hermanni only visiting their trailers where they were not present.
