Yay! First comment! I saw this movie way back in 1984 in Germany. 25 years later, details are a bit hazy. I might have some things wrong. So sue me.
The title translates as "Carpet Switch". The main plot is this young guy who is having a devil of a time finding a place to live in Munich. He also was having no luck with his love life. A variety of events happen, leading to shut-downs both with the ladies and with leads on apartments.
He eventually lands a room to live in. Unfortunately, shortly after moving in, his landlady then delivers the bad news: The landlady has a relative moving to town, so the protagonist will have to move out.
It's not all bad news for our hero, as he finally scores with a young lady. Even better, she's going to be moving in to a new place very shortly. A bedmate AND a bed! Bonus! Our man and his new babe go back to his apartment and get busy. The landlady walks in on them in flagrante delicto, and we get the big twist. You see, his new girlfriend IS the landlady's relative. He doesn't have to move after all! HO HO HO! The acting is fine, but the story is silly and illogical, the jokes aren't funny, and the quality of the production is pretty low. Frankly, this was essentially a TV movie (financed by the German network ZDF) that was given a brief theatrical release.
