action
After her husband passed away, Sabine Meinrad set up a small children's fashion business, with the income from which she provides for her family. Of her three sons, Axel, the eldest, is already married and is expecting his first child. Whenever the house's blessing is a little slanted, Axel seeks advice from his mother - much to the chagrin of his wife. Peter, the middle one, is studying law; however, his main interest is the study of the female sex. Kai, the youngest, still goes to school and breeds spiders in his room. One day a student broke into this family who had been placed by the university customer service TUSMA. For the 15-year-old Kai, she is therefore only the “Miss Tusma”. After a short time, his heart only beats for the new occupant.
Axel and his Gisela have finally found their own apartment. This event is to be specially celebrated. Axel's mother-in-law is also expected at the party. But no sooner has she arrived than she takes over the command of the house. Everyone fears for their freedom, especially Mama Sabine, because she has been keeping a great secret for a few months: The secret is a man named Horn. When Peter has been transferred by his new flame, he invites "Tusma" to go on a night sailing party. The two fall in love. For the first time in his life, Kai has to feel what lovesickness is.
Peace only returns to the family when Axel's mother-in-law has said goodbye. Towards the end, Mama Meinrad can look forward to three things: her first grandchild, a new daughter-in-law and finally a new husband.
