Synopsis

Freddy Kleemann from Constance, who has moved to Berlin involuntarily, doesn't get much of the capital city feeling. While his heavily pregnant wife Juliana feels abandoned by him, his business partner Lara wants more commitment from her daycare center. Not only do the children need to accept the innovative concept with quiet rooms more readily, but the parents' tempers are also running high, much to Freddy's chagrin. His father Fritz, who suffers from dementia, worries him greatly. Freddy senses that the joint search for the right facility could be the last conscious father-and-son project. Accordingly, he wants to take his time and savor the intense moments. Freddy's mother-in-law Regina is supposed to provide relief for the Kleemanns. She likes to be there for others, but would like to be pampered again herself. Perhaps a new acquaintance would do her good? That's what her grandchildren Zoë and Niko think when they secretly register their grandma on a dating platform...
