Paul is the king of indecision. Every day he wants to change his life, but something keeps getting in the way. Be it feelings for his ex Berthe, the constant best buddy advances of her new lover Jan or expanding his sneaker collection - Paul always has an excuse ready. But luckily there is half-sister Barbie, a determined, unscrupulous top manager, and half-brother Ludwig, an eccentric who constantly intrudes on Paul to drive him mad. The 'half triplets' are inextricably linked by father Gerd's involuntary, perfectly timed contraceptive failures - born by three different women on the same day, welded together by their family neuroses and the fictitious city of Friedefeld where they live in.
