When he wants a new suit for a lecture (actually very minor) about his new book, he meets the sisters Franziska, Breate and Marthe, who run a boutique, share a house and have a lover each. They invite him to dinner, Franziska even on dates. Falling off a boat he gets naked with her, and they become lovers. The girls all take to him and get him to move in, spoiled by all and offered polygamy. Written by KGF Vissers See less
