action
At the center of the story are Don and Kalle, who both study civil engineering and are friends with each other. When the Macedonian Don is supposed to be expelled, they pretend to be homosexual and enter into a sham civil partnership (cf. sham marriage ). Her homosexual friend Sven, who plays with them in the same football club, introduces them to the supposedly typical homosexual way of life. He redesigns your apartment and gives you advice on your styling.
When the immigration authorities conduct a review of the civil partnership, Kalle meets Katharina, who, as the authority's official, is supposed to verify the relationship, and immediately falls in love with her. Since they get along well straight away, Katharina accepts Kalle's invitation to the opera. On the way home, the lovers run into Don by chance, who is about to leave in a taxi with his latest conquest. The two friends just manage to talk their way out of it and Katharina (yet) has no suspicions. Don falls in love with the neighbor Hedi, who also has feelings for him, but hesitates because she is afraid that she will only be his next affair.
So that Kalle can spend a night with Katharina, the two friends persuade their neighbor, Frau Steckenreiter, to play Don’s mother, who has come to visit and of course should not find out that her son is homosexual. The plan works and Hedi and Don finally find each other. But the whole fraud is revealed when Don's real mother and his fiancée come from Macedonia to break the engagement. Both Katharina and Hedi are very disappointed in the two machos because they assume that they are just another affair in the long list of the two women heroes. While Hedi is finally ready to forgive Don, at first it seems as if this would be impossible for Katharina. But when she overhears a conversation between Kalle and Hedi, in which he expresses his regret for his actions and his desire for forgiveness, she is ready to forgive Kalle and makes up with him.
criticism
"(TV) comedy that superficially varies the familiar subject of fictitious marriage."
“Thanks to sympathetic actors, you can ignore one or the other bold cliché during this entertaining fun by Ulli Baumann. [...] In the role of Don, by the way, the good-humored young actor Carlo Ljubek can be seen, whom one or the other viewer should know from films like "Ventricular Fibrillation", "Affair for Three" or "Men Like Us".
