Freddy and his wife Juliana leave the comfort zone of Constance and move to Berlin. With Grandpa Fritz in tow, the Kleemanns move in with Grandma Regina.

Accordingly, he wants to take his time and savor the intense moments. Freddy's mother-in-law Regina is supposed to provide relief for the Kleemanns. She likes to be there for others, but would like to be pampered again herself. Perhaps a new acquaintance would do her good? That's what her grandchildren Zoë and Niko think when they secretly register their grandma on a dating platform...
