action
The Munich nursery owner Klara was awarded the environmental prize for reforestation in the surrounding area. She has been divorced from the major entrepreneur Bernhard, who builds less environmentally friendly aircraft, for 20 years after she caught him on an affair. Their daughter Sophie, who works as an aircraft engineer for her father, wants to marry her colleague Ingo and expects her parents to sit down at a table to plan their wedding. However, Klara thinks that the workaholic Ingo is not the right person for her daughter. In addition, Sophie's great love, the writer and globetrotter Hans, has returned home after 14 years. He finds temporary shelter with Klara.
Bernhard, who has been married to the much younger Nicole for a while, now needs the help of his ex-wife. His aircraft factory is not doing well. Only a deal with a major Indian industrialist can save his company. Since the Indian was once in love with Klara, Bernhard hopes that Klara can change the mind of the industrialist in favor of the aircraft factory. Bernhard therefore drives to a mountain hut where Klara will spend the night. When Klara, whom Bernhard, to her displeasure, always calls Claire, meets him there, she drives away in her trolley angrily. However, a landslide hit the car and Klara injured her leg. Bernhard rushes to her and then treats her wound in the mountain hut. In doing so, they get closer again and finally spend the night together.
Meanwhile, Sophie wants to talk to her mother about Hans, whom she met by chance in town. In Klara's house in Munich, however, she does not find her mother, but Hans of all people. He is currently cooking and burns his hand. Sophie bandages the wound for him and talks to him. Hans finally gives her to understand that it was not his departure that ended their mutual relationship, but that the demands they placed on him and themselves were too high. When he kisses Sophie, she allows it for a short time, but then slaps him in the face. She goes home and calls Ingo. As always, he is busy with other things and only comes back late in the evening.
Klara's mother Erna is meanwhile convinced that Klara has a relationship and lets Bernhard know that too. Although Klara and Bernhard then get into each other's hair, as so often, Klara agrees to help Bernhard with his business with the Indian industrialist. With charm she also manages to convince the Indian and close the deal. In return, she would like Bernhard to travel on the Trans-Siberian Railway . But first they both toast their success in a private jet in Bernhard's aircraft factory. In doing so, they admit to themselves how much they still love each other. Sophie arrives there in search of Ingo. When Ingo runs into her, she wants to know from him whether he wants to marry her for her own sake or whether the wedding is only about his own career. Ingo, however, evades her because he still has business to do quickly. Sophie remains disappointed, whereupon Klara and Bernhard get off the private jet and try to comfort their daughter. Before his daughter's wedding, Bernhard lets his wife Nicole know that he wants to divorce her. This is understanding when Bernhard agrees to settle them with a larger amount of money. Finally, in Klara's nursery, Sophie and Hans say yes. Ingo is the best man. Shortly afterwards, however, Klara and Bernhard board the Trans-Siberian Railway together.

criticism
"Humorous (television) family comedy with convincing actors," said the lexicon of international films . TV Spielfilm said that the "playful duo from Die Schnell Gerdi [...] promised an amusing exchange of blows", but lost themselves here in "irrelevant banter and bickering". The conclusion was: “Good actors in a sucked-out story.” TV Movie was not enthusiastic either: “Clichés are wedded to stars.” According to Prisma , Senta Berger and Friedrich von Thun “brilliantly give a former couple who have given up after years of separation the former love reflects ". That is “not particularly original, but how von Thun and Berger play this is always worth seeing”.
