Frau Siebenstein owns a shop which buys and sells second-hand goods. The shop is also home to a raven called Rudi and a suitcase called "Suitcase". To say that they can both talk would be an understatement. They spend most of their time bickering like children but are the best of friends at heart. During the programme Frau Siebenstein uses something a customer has brought in or bought that day as inspiration for a story. Typically there is some kind of moral to the story but not always. I remember this programme being part of the Sunday afternoon slot for children - not being a child never stopped me from watching and thoroughly enjoying it. The programme has such a fireside feel about it. They don't seem to make things like that any more. What a shame.
