Gunther Strobbe is a 13-year-old boy living with his father, Marcel, his three uncles, and his grandmother. The Strobbes are not an ordinary family; Marcel works part-time as a letter carrier, though the fact there are several bars on his route makes getting the work done a challenge, while his brothers are booze-addled layabouts who sponge off their mother, who is too sweet to deny them her meager pension. The men of this family spend their days drinking beer and eating sausage, breaking things, playing pranks on people, and chasing women. Years later, Gunther has launched a career as a writer, is married, and is expecting a son; suddenly frightened by the new responsibilities that await him, Gunther seeks out Marcel and his brothers for some advice on fatherhood, a subject one might not imagine is one of their strong suits.
