After a lot of trial and error, Hilde Reimer has finally decided to marry her late love Theo. Immediately after the wedding, Theo moves in with her in the Reimersche family villa - nothing seems to stand in the way of their mutual happiness. Or is it? While Theo soon gets to feel the idiosyncrasies of his new wife, Hilde quickly realizes that she can hardly keep up with the pace of the agile Theo in everyday life.

Fraudulent machinations of her dental spouse, from whom she lives apart, overthrow the housewife Cleo Berger into ruin. Cleo has to vacate her house and suddenly stands with her three children Tim, Emma and Sophie without housing and money in front of nothing. But Cleo can not be beaten and moves now to her father, a retired archaeologist, to which she has a difficult relationship. While she works as a waitress and has her hands full smoothing the waves between her annoyed father and the lively children, Cleo falls madly in love with the sympathetic-helpful neighbor Jan.

The childless sisters Regina, Anja and Susanne are outraged. Their wealthy mother is determined to become a grandmother and offers her fancy villa as a reward for the first of the three daughters to give her a grandchild. But Anja has completely different plans: she is going to emigrate to Brazil with Karin, the love of her life.

Hilde Reimer is overjoyed when her three grown-up daughters and their partners move into the old family villa. The only thing that really bothers Hilde is that her three girls are still not married, despite having children and being very much in love.
