After her ex-husband Martin moved to Munich, Bella is desperately looking for a daycare place for Tom – now that the “Oase” finally has enough customers, she has to go back to work full time and Lena doesn’t have time to look after the little one either. Just at this moment, Bella’s penniless father Friedrich bursts into their lives after 14 years of contact silence: In the middle of the night, he shows up – accompanied by two police officers – at Bella’s apartment door and asks for a beer.

The wound he left in his daughter has never healed since. Bella’s sister Eva encourages her to draw a line under their mutual father.
