Overview

"Great, Chinese!" is the first exuberant reaction of Brian, Lisa and Michael Brücker's son, when the Chinese Wang family move into the house next door. But the very next morning, the Brückers realize that they have underestimated their new neighbors. The immigrants from the Far East turn out to be real high-flyers. The Wangs' offspring outperform the Brückers' offspring at school, father Wang snatches the coveted managing director position from under Michael Brücker's nose and mother Li is a university professor, while Lisa "only" has a small, poorly run flower store. Logically, the Brückers find so much perfectionism unbearable in the long run and prepare to strike back...
