action

TV journalist Julia Schiller banned her husband Wolf from their shared apartment because, once again, he had not been so strict about marital fidelity. However, she not only has worries with her husband, but also with her four children Lena, Anna and the twins Anton and Philipp. As a single mother, she has her hands full and her life has not become any quieter, even without an unfaithful husband. She can only reconcile family and work with great effort. In addition, there is also her aunt Isolde, who lives in a senior citizens facility, but still wants Julia's attention and calls her all the time. She is currently convinced that her friend Elisabeth was killed by one of the residents of the home. Since the police wouldn't do anything, they want to hunt down the man themselves. She tries to convince Julia to help her, for which she can use the story as a journalist right away: "Murder in the retirement home". Julia doesn't want to know anything about it, because she has enough to do with her children. The twins Philipp and Anton have their birthday and it looks like their father doesn't have time to look after his sons again. He organized a balloon ride for them, but is too late, so that Julia and the boys take the trip alone. This balloon ride develops dramatically when the balloon pilot becomes weak and can no longer steer the balloon. With a lot of luck Julia can bring the balloon to the ground and help the trip to a halfway happy end. Since the whole thing was Wolf's idea, she blames him for the whole misery.

Meanwhile, Aunt Isolde does not give up. She has already learned that her friend's account has been completely emptied and she is firmly convinced that her suspect Eckard Born has taken the money. She wants to get Julia to look in Born's apartment to see if he has hidden the money there, but Julia has to work. Her boss asked her to interview a 104-year-old senior, but it doesn't turn out as planned, because the old man falls asleep during the interview, so all the effort was in vain. Instead of Julia, Aunt Isolde is now using her children in her investigation. While the twins are supposed to keep an eye on the suspect, she sneaks into Born's apartment with Anne. Here you will find a power of attorney that Isolde's friend had carelessly issued to Eckard Born so that he could continually withdraw larger sums of money from the account. When Born returns to his apartment too early, the two of them find it difficult to hide.

Since Julia comes home unexpectedly earlier from Interview, she surprises her eldest daughter Lena with her boyfriend Max, but she reacts confidently and pretends to have noticed nothing. The three hobby detectives also return and tell their mother about their adventure. She is not very enthusiastic about Isolde's arbitrariness and has to discover that her aunt has suddenly disappeared. The children immediately suspect that Eckard Born killed them. You can convince her mother to investigate. Her husband, whom the children have included, also stands by them and Julia is inclined to be reconciled with him in his care for all of them. The relationship with Juliet's boss is less forgiving. He personally resents her for having an affair that she didn't want to continue. Without further ado, she decides to leave the editorial office. Since she now has more time, she takes great care of her aunt's disappearance. In contrast to her children, however, she chooses the direct route and confronts Eckard Born. He admits to embezzling Isolde's girlfriend's money, but is not responsible for her death. Since Aunt Isolde suddenly reappears unharmed, she believes him. Born wants to face responsibility and even be represented by Julia's husband, who is a lawyer. Julia herself takes a trip to Hamburg, where she hopes to find a new job. Meanwhile, Wolf takes care of the children in Cologne and Julia discovers on the train ride:
