Watchlist:
Dad is dead. For years he wanted nothing more to do with his children because they didn't agree with his lifestyle. Now daughter Linda alerts the three brothers Joschi, Jakob and Uli, and they all gather together with their spouses Fred and Franziska at the deathbed, which in this case is a new red sofa in the middle of the living room of the family home. The father, a former head physician, widowed for years and suffering from Parkinson's disease, had developed an exuberant old-age virility in which his nurse played no small role.

About
Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is an oratorio by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach to a text by Karl Wilhelm Ramler on the subject of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. The first documented performance evidently took place in 1774, and was first publicly performed in 1778; it was further revised between 1778 and 1780. Along with the other oratorios that CPE Bach composed, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu has been described as being "among the most important Protestant vocal works of the second half of the 18th century".
