In the 1990's Kharkiv three friends search for a fourth one to tell him the news about his late stepfather passing away.

Sometimes things turn out very differently than you think. The 62-year-old self-made entrepreneur Anton would like to move to the countryside and enjoy life with his wife Johanna. With a big surprise, the 41-year-old lawyer turns his planning upside down: Johanna is unplanned pregnant. Anton's daughter Marie, who is also expecting children, and son David, who would like to take over the management of the company, are amazed. Instead of finally putting his trust in him, stubborn Anton relies on his untested multitasking skills: When Johanna goes back to work, he wants to manage the construction projects in the "home office" - with little Otto on his arm. When trying to be a model dad and company leader in one, Anton fails across the board. No price is too high for him to placate Johanna: From now on he wants to concentrate completely on her upbringing - as always with complete dedication. Soon Anton and the little one are rushing through a six-day course of early childhood support - from baby fitness to the Chinese bedtime nanny. The inspired super daddy doesn't even notice that friends are making fun of him, that he's dumping his own daughter unnoticed and that his marriage is in danger of falling by the wayside. Of course, that doesn't last long.

Benno Gütermann and his best friend/neighbor Axel Watzke are simple, happy bus drivers in the otherwise isolated Harz small town Wernigerode, until they are fired when car dealer Dieter Brausewetter's company abolishes the unprofitable line. The livelihoods of Benno (and his wife Tanja and preteen son Tommy) and Axel and his equally-happy family, are suddenly crushed and the locals are cut off from the outer world. Shortly afterward, Benno surprisingly inherits a million Euros from a frugal aunt, so he plans to buy and reopen the bus line to run it with Axel, and Brausewetter promises the old bus for free, so the community celebrates them as heroes, albeit everyone hopes for some of generous Benno's new fortune. Brausewetter, who is in financial trouble but hides it, promises his creditors Benno's million by becoming his new best friend, introducing him to the good life and high society, although Tanja had him promise 'nothing would change', but even Axel ends up bitterly estranged. Benno is tempted to invest his fortune in a joint venture with Brausewetter, who promises the chance of a lifetime in a bankrupt count's classic-car collection, which is simply too good to be true.
