Even a God-like gourmet instance can sometimes be wrong: out of the blue, Eifel landlady Toni gets a star for her cooking skills. There is in their "copper can" only a lunch table with bourgeois home cooking. Of course, it is a mistake of the renowned restaurant guide, the star chef Rufus expensive: without the prestigious star threatens his eponymous gourmet temple off! When his snobbish regulars turn to Toni's "copper can", the landlady gets cold feet: In contrast to her mother Heidi, she wants to eliminate the error as quickly as possible from the world.

The film is an intense drama about two and a half couples. Three girlfriends and two men meet with different intentions and have to realize just how little they really know about each other. On the beautiful island of Mallorca, the ugly truth reveals itself. No one actually wants that, it just happens. The house of cards collapses. How much do we deceive each other? Why doesn’t anyone want to fail or admit mistakes? What, if a mother doesn’t want to be one? And what if, in the end, everything doesn’t turn out fine?

Rufus finally wants to regain his mistakenly revoked gourmet star. The ideal opportunity presents itself at the congress of chefs on the sunny island of Madeira. There he wants to show that his new, down-to-earth gourmet cuisine à la Kupferkanne is even better than the previous one in his posh Cologne restaurant.
