The Berlin piano maker Jan Epstein knows exactly what to do when it comes to restoring the highly sensitive instruments. As a small business owner, however, he is at least as unsuccessful as in his role as a family man. Jan secretly mourns the failed marriage with the concert musician Serafina and he has to make amends with his 16-year-old daughter Mia. An unexpected opportunity arose when the teenage girl, surprisingly, wanted to accompany him to Italy for a lovingly repaired piano. On the way, Jan notices what really made her travel with us: a large portion of reluctance to move with her newly in love mother and her fiancé Einar. In addition, there is lovesickness, which Mia wants to cure with distraction. Despite the adverse conditions, Jan decides to turn the delivery into a short break with an open ending. Jan prefers to suppress the fact that his girlfriend Stef, who wants to nail him down with plans for the future, and the bailiff are waiting for him at home, in the tried and tested manner. Because of his unreliability, a worried Serafina soon turns up at the holiday hotel, naturally with Einar in tow to check on Mia. Now Jan sees the chance not only to fight for his daughter, but also for his ex-wife.

The predominantly female readership loves the romantic love novels that the Berlin author Max Mangold writes under the female pseudonym Jana van Hausten. For the anniversary edition of "Stürmische Zeiten" he gets into a real creative, life and marriage crisis despite the best sales figures. His publisher is pushing for the next bestseller to be completed and his wife Susanne, a respected law professor, decides to accept a call from Rostock University for a year. Alone because her marriage needs a break, explains Susanne. Max suspects that she is alone because her old childhood sweetheart, the fisherman Jörn, lives in Rostock. For the time being, Susanne is staying at her mother Greta's rural inn, who thinks as much of her son-in-law as he thinks of her: very little. But that doesn't stop Max from following his wife and camping in front of the inn because Greta refuses to give him a room. Max persistently courts Susanne and initially only impresses his mother-in-law, who turns out to be an ally. While torpedoing Jörn's advances to Susanne and at the same time struggling with his next novel, Max meets the attractive hairdresser Nancy. She has read all 25 of Jana van Hausten's novels and is using unusual means to help him overcome his writer's block.
