When Maria loses her memory after an accident, all she remembers is that she has never been to New York. She smuggles herself onto a cruise ship, followed by her daughter and her make-up artist… Film based on the stage musical, which weaves a colorful plot around a series of Udo Jürgens songs. The rare attempt to build on the early tradition of musical comedies.
Guest: Christoph Israel
