The life of the Cologne architect Mads is as empty as his apartment. Since the death of his beloved wife, the 44-year-old has only been able to function in a reduced daily routine. A chance reunion with his best friend from his youth changes everything. The cheerful single woman René moves in with him with her children - nine-year-old Lola and six-year-old Oscar. Finally, life is coming back into his life! Although René is not even considering the good-looking, successful guy as a new partner, Mads is growing into the unfamiliar role of the perfect patchwork dad. Friends without benefits, but with children - it works amazingly perfectly! When Mads becomes interested in the fascinating Eva, who is just as cautious as he is, an unwanted complication comes into the lightness of being: René receives a medical diagnosis that requires far-reaching decisions. Although he has other plans, Mads knows what he has to do.

Since his wife died ten years ago, Karl has been raising his daughter Nic alone. This has left its mark on the 13-year-old schoolgirl: Nic stands out from the girls her age with her short haircut and tomboyish style of dress. In her ice hockey team, which Karl coaches, she easily outplays her male teammates with the odd body check. But everything changes when editor-in-chief Sonja moves in next door and Karl unceremoniously turns the two apartments into a shared flat following an accident. Sonja observes the father-daughter relationship between Karl and Nic and interferes in their upbringing, especially when she realizes that Nic would also like to be a woman and that not everything revolves around ice hockey.

After the death of his wife, 69-year-old Elmar Kern lacks the drive to make a fresh start. But his late wife had already made provisions for this eventuality - during her lifetime.
