action
At the invitation of her mother Greta, divorce lawyer Henriette travels with her husband Torsten to Ibiza, where she wants to spend a relaxing ten-day vacation in her parents' holiday home. A short time later, however, her sister Karla with daughter Lucy and her brother Max arrive. The siblings have been enemies since there was a big family dispute last Christmas. Karla called Henriette a greedy woman who earned money from other people's misfortunes. Henriette called children's book translator Karla a loser. Chef Max, on the other hand, had received 30,000 euros from Henriette to be able to set up his own restaurant, but had to file for bankruptcy. This also puts him in conflict with his father Herbert, who has been running his own restaurant successfully for 30 years.
Before the siblings can still puzzle out why all three of them are meeting at the holiday home, Greta appears. She explains to them that her father plans to disinherit his children. He wants to sell the restaurant and give the money to a foundation. The reason is his immeasurable disappointment with the behavior of his children at last Christmas. Herbert will land in Ibiza the next day because he wants to celebrate the 44th wedding anniversary with Greta. Greta hopes that by then the children will be able to reconcile and make a good impression on their father. Then, she says, he will quickly reverse his plan.
The fronts, however, have hardened and the dispute between the siblings flares up again and again. Henriette finally packs the things and wants to move with Torsten to a hotel on the other end of the island when Herbert arrives at the holiday home. He is happy to see his children gathered, and so Henriette is forced to stay. However, the tensions grow more and more in the following years, since the egocentric Herbert has something to complain about in all children, so he accuses Karla of her lax educational methods and is not satisfied with his son's cooking skills. Only in Henriette does he see the woman with the perfect life, but he is mistaken. Karla happened to see Torsten with a stranger in a hotel and indicated this to Henriette. She then secretly follows Torsten and sees him with the blonde. She confronts him in the holiday home and he admits to having a fleeting affair with his colleague Anja, who secretly followed him to Ibiza. Henriette throws him out of the house. Although Torsten soon realizes that Anja is not the right person for him and that he does not want to give up his wife, he cannot change her mind. When he claims to have only known Anja for a short time and to have met her very rarely, Henriette presents him with his cell phone bill from the past two years, on which she has marked the numerous calls to Anja. Your marriage is over with that.
Karla met the veterinarian Pedro in Ibiza, where she had given treatment to an injured stray dog that was found. She starts a cautious affair with Pedro, but breaks it off when she thinks Pedro is just out on a vacation flirt. Only when she realizes that she actually means something to him does she give their relationship a chance. The marriage of Greta and Herbert, in turn, is promptly put to the test on the 44th wedding anniversary. Greta asks Herbert to give Max a hand, who despite great efforts has no professional success. Herbert refuses to help and Greta is so appalled by her husband's egocentric nature that it leads to a marital row. Only now does Herbert begin to rethink. He approaches his children and in the end they find each other. Max will take over Herbert's restaurant as head chef, Herbert and Henriette will take care of the legal issues and accounting, while Karla will take over the menu translation among other things. Herbert states that the family should go on a vacation trip every year, but even when looking for possible future travel destinations, new disputes arise.
criticism
For film-dienst , A Vacation Home on Ibiza was a "humorous, at the same time thought-provoking (TV) family film, which, after considerable turbulence, evokes values such as trust, love and solidarity."
"Sometimes lard drips through the cracks, but some intricacies and witty dialogues raise the matter above the level of Degeto (Friday) kitsch", said the TV Spielfilm .
