Ushi Hirosaki has to marry according to Japanese tradition before her 30th birthday. Because time is running out, her family decides she has to marry a huge sumo wrestler. A rather unfortunate combination, so Ushi wants to look for a nicer candidate herself. She travels halfway around the world to find her dream husband. Along the way she does valiant efforts, for example to learn table manners and to lose her Japanese accent.

What began as a playful project alongside the soap opera "Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden" (Good Times, Bad Times) suddenly became deadly serious: "Ademnood" (Ademnood) topped the charts, followed by five singles, an album, sold-out performances, and a frenzy that even surprised the girl group itself. But behind all the success was something else. The series shows how young Katja, Babette, and Guusje, as a popular singing trio, faced mounting pressure, inadequate guidance, and the impact of all this on their personal lives.
