Editor Katharina Faber wants to move to Venice. But unfortunately she misses her flight because of the building work in the house next door. Before she can get on the next plane, her grown-up children are at the door and urgently need her help. Son Uli has dropped out of school and daughter Lisa, recently pregnant, wants a divorce from her allegedly unfaithful husband. Katharina actually has to help her children before she can fly away with peace of mind.
