Kenan and Lissi live fence to fence in a Munich semi-detached house - and yet in different worlds. He is an orderly petty bourgeois who does not tolerate a speck of dust in his house and meticulously dedicates himself to growing roses in the garden. No wonder that she, a bestselling author and bon vivant, has little use for the philistine next door. There is only one thing that connects them both: Lissi is the landlady of Kenan's semi-detached house. When the bank threatened to sell her foreclosure because of outstanding installment payments, it naturally affected him too. The widower definitely doesn't want to move. So he has to help Lissi with her problems and even take her in after an apartment fire. Kenan, a construction manager by trade, sees only one solution to the common problem: Lissi has to deliver the last part of her romance novel trilogy as quickly as possible. However, she suffers from writer's block, the result of breaking up with her unfaithful ex-husband and publisher Wolfgang. Giving him a happy ending in book form - Lissi doesn't even want to think about that. Ironically, through Kenan, whom his adult children Aysel and Can want to pair off with a Turkish woman, Lissi's petrified emotional world is now moving. Her daughter Sofie doesn't like that any more than Kenan's son. They want to ensure that the community of convenience does not become more. Written by ARD Das Erste
