- Nach ihrer Scheidung kämpfen Anne und Erik leidenschaftlich um die Poleposition im Rennen um das glücklichere Leben. Anne legt gut vor, sie hat sich einen deutlich jüngeren Lover geangelt. Erik ist also im Zugzwang, zumal eine Doppelhochzeit in der Familie ansteht, auf der alle zusammenkommen. Sohn Leon will heiraten und plant eine gemeinsame Feier mit Oma Renate und Oper Günter, die ihr Ehejubiläum begießen wollen. Tatort: Gartenlaube. Erik will an diesem großen Tag natürlich im besten Licht erscheinen und greift zu ungewöhnlichen Mitteln bei seiner Partnersuche. Leon hat inzwischen erfolgreich sein Medizinstudium aufgenommen.

Annes Vater Ludwig mischt derweil das Pflegeheim immer wieder mit krassen Aktionen auf, und jedes Mal müssen die "Kinder" Anne und Erik anrücken für eine Standpauke bei der Pflegedienstleitung. Maria versucht sich im neuen Leben ohne Ludwig, das schlechte Gewissen immer im Gepäck. Auf der Hochzeitsfeier - zwischen Kartoffelsalat, Ludwigs musikalischer Einlage, einem Notarzteinsatz und einer ungeplanten Annäherung zwischen Anne und Erik - kommt es schließlich zum Showdown.

- The widowed bookworm Hermann believes he has found the right person in the elegant literature lover Hanne - but not for life, but for his imminent death. After being diagnosed with cancer, the melancholy pensioner neither wants to fight nor languish like his beloved wife 30 years ago, but wants to resign in a self-determined manner - as long as he is still doing well. However, suicide or euthanasia are out of the question for Hermann, out of consideration for his single-parent daughter Claudia and his grandson Lenny, who have no idea about his serious illness. Through his acquaintance with the widow Hanne, whose well-to-do husband died shortly after their marriage, he had a surefire idea: he had to marry the "Black Widow", who, as a trained pharmacist, was very familiar with poison. In order to win Hanne's heart, the sometimes insensitive and know-it-all Hermann relies on a well-dosed mixture of imposture, understatement and charm. In this way he gets closer to the woman he is courting, but his goal is becoming more and more a possibility: through the romantic approach to his widow-to-be, life makes him happy again.
- Im dritten Film von "Anna und ihr Untermieter" ist unsere Heldin über beide Ohren verliebt, belustigt beobachtet Mitbewohner Kurtz Annas "Wolke-7-Zustand".

Dort trifft sie unerwartet jemanden, der ihre wahre Sehnsucht anklickt: Ihr Nebensitzer Godehard erweist sich als überaus charmant, kultiviert und einfühlsam. Seine Avancen wecken bei Anna neue Lebensfreude. Dass Herr Kurtz mit seiner nüchternen Art warnt, kann Annas Gefühle kaum schwächen. Erst als Godehard mit ihrem Ersparten weiterziehen möchte, beginnt sie wieder auf Herrn Kurtz zu hören. Zusammen hecken die beiden einen aberwitzigen Plan aus, um alles zurückzuholen.

- Viola and Faraz don't need a marriage certificate to be a happy couple. Nor do religion, tradition or family play a special role in their relationship life. However, that changes suddenly with the birth of their first child. Now Faraz's parents Masud and Anoushe, who come from Iran, are reflecting on their roots and expressly wish for the ancestor to be circumcised based on their Muslim beliefs. Your grandson is a Muslim - but that is by no means an option for the Helmrichs. For the assertive Patriarch Holger and his wife Beatrice, it is of course not about tolerance, but only about the Catholic family tradition - so baptisms must take place. The stubbornness of their families soon throws the young couple from one dilemma to another - precisely because religion is initially not important to them. Completely unprepared, they now have to deal with their own identities - and what they fight out of them or what they want to throw overboard. This puts their relationship to an unexpected test, because there is not a painless compromise for everything.

He gives her the care of the snooty ex-millionaire who continues her luxury life with brazen tricks. Klara first gains respect in her resolute way. She soon learns that Merle has even cheated her former workforce out of social security contributions. Now the probation officer really wants to know - and puts the velvet gloves aside completely.

To her astonishment, Rudi's life story points to her own childhood, which she spent in homes and with foster parents.
