Katrin can only dream of a happy family. Because the patchwork constellation with several involuntarily connected families puts their nerves to the test. In order to mend the fragile relationship with her 14-year-old daughter Saskia, she invited all family members to her confirmation. But Saskia recently moved in with her father and his new family, while the son of Katrin's new partner Philipp moved in with them and has been wreaking havoc on Saskia's room and Katrin's life ever since. A harmonious everyday life is out of the question, and certainly not a peaceful family celebration. Desperate and overwhelmed, Katrin drives her daughter into a rebellious anti-attitude rather than back into her arms. The moral indignation of Katrin's father Horst over his daughter's complicated and anything but functional family model also has so much explosive impact on the still young relationship between Katrin and her new partner that in the end the big question arises: Why are we actually doing this to ourselves? ?
