Attorney Bernhard Martin would love to sell his law firm and make his dream come true: mountain hiking in the Himalayas. But his wife Sonja wants to conquer a completely different summit: Sonja is a professor of neurosurgery at a large Leipzig hospital. Her colleagues appreciate her for her professional competence, but Sonja has bigger plans: She wants to become the clinic director. She pursues this career goal with all her vigor. Apparently she lost sight of some essential things in her private life. Sonja involuntarily becomes aware of this when she has to quarter her grandchildren Clarissa, Paula and little Benedikt for a few days in her apartment, which is by no means suitable for children. Accordingly, the children feel uncomfortable with the workaholic grandmother, who needs a rest after work to prepare important lectures. In this "home-made" chaos, Bernhard proves to be solid as a rock. He patiently and sensitively deals with the needs and worries of the lively children and literally blossoms in the process. Sonja suddenly begins to see her husband with different eyes. The situation comes to a head when Sonja is surprisingly supposed to take over the management of a renowned Berlin clinic. She would like to scream hurray. But for Bernhard, who has so far always withdrawn out of love, the prospect of a weekend marriage has finally overstretched the arch. Sonja faces a difficult decision.
