Plot
The widower Danyal worries about his adult daughter Jila, even though the doctor has long been on her own feet. When the man in his mid-fifties can't reach her by phone, he rushes from Kitzingen in Franconia to Berlin with two friends. The career lawyer Markus and the entertainer Tobi, also loving fathers with adult daughters in the capital, would like to combine the friendship service with the opportunity to visit their offspring. However, as soon as they arrive, the three realize that they know very little about the lives of the young women. Jila doesn't want to talk to Danyal because she believes he is responsible for the failure of several relationships, the unsuccessful actress Tilda is burdened by her father's excessive career expectations and Hanna confronts the complacent judge Markus about a secret marriage for legally questionable reasons. The three fathers' short trip develops a dynamic of its own that also pushes the daughters to their limits.
