action
Sofie Becker, former nurse and now successful writer of women's novels , lives with her two children Phillip (15 years) and Jenny (11 years) and the dog Klitschko in a large, spacious house in Leipzig . Phillip and Jenny don't know who their father is. However, Jenny longs for a father. Sofie told the children that Phillip's father was dead and that Jenny's father was supposed to be missing in Alaska . Sofie is currently working on her new book entitled Treue Herzen , but has a massive writer's block and is not making any headway with the work on her book. Her smart publisher Konrad Schneider, the type of perpetual bachelor with whom Sofie has a relationship without obligations, however, urges them to submit.
Sofie's former colleague and supervisor Rosa, the ward's head nurse , also lives in the household . Rosa, Sofie's maternal friend and surrogate grandma for Phillip and Jenny, is about to turn 70, but has no desire to celebrate her birthday in a big way. Sofie made Rosa promise not to tell the children anything about their fathers and Rosa always kept her promise.
One day Vincent (45 years old), Rosa's son, is at the door. He and Sofie were a couple 15 years ago. Vincent, who felt cramped in his early thirties, wanted to break out and fulfill a lifelong dream. He left Sofie overnight 15 years ago and went to Australia , where he built a successful diving school.
Rosa, who had been in contact with her son by email for several years , faked an illness in order to persuade her son to come to Leipzig. She wants her son around her in her old age. During an examination at the hospital during which Rosa met Dr. Ludwig Oberländer meets again, who occasionally still helps out there, it turns out that Rosa is completely healthy. Sofie also finds out by calling her old station. Sofie, who now sees her family idyll shaking, asks Vincent to disappear again immediately after Rosa's birthday. She also wants to take over his share of the house that they both inherited from the previous owner and pay him off. However, Rosa asks Sofie to give Vincent a chance.
Vincent wants to know if Phillip is his son. Sofie admits, but demands that Vincent keep silent about Phillip. Vincent wants to get to know his son better. He moves into the old mobile home that is still in the tool shed and becomes part of the family community. Phillip initially perceived Vincent as an intruder and troublemaker and gave him the cold shoulder. However, Phillip and Vincent slowly become friends over time. Philipp also indirectly asks Vincent whether he is his father; but Vincent, keeping his promise to Sofie, is silent. It finally comes to a head when Phillip frankly tells his parents that they have both lied to him for years. In anger, Sofie now asks Rosa to disappear just like Vincent. You have now reached your goal; the family was destroyed. Vincent and Rosa move into a hotel ; To Sofie's surprise, Jenny and Phillip join in spontaneously. At the hotel, Vincent explains at the front desk when checking in that Jenny and Phillip are his children and takes Jenny's hand. Jenny has now also found a father.
Sofie stays behind in the house alone. She takes stock and looks back on her life. They are now writing their own story as a novel and calling it After All These Years . Your writer's block is resolved. Your publisher is excited about her new style of writing.
For Rosa's 70th birthday, Vincent, Dr. Oberländer, Jenny, Phillip, Phillips' new girlfriend Doro and Rosa's friends and ex-colleagues prepared a surprise. They built her a little sailboat that she always wanted. Together with Dr. Oberländer she can now go sailing in the Leipziger Neuseenland . Sofie comes as a surprise guest for Rosa's birthday. Her speech on Rosa becomes a declaration of love for her family. Sofie and Vincent are planning a new version of their relationship.

Reviews
“As Leipzig's" Tatort "commissioner, Simone Thomalla is on the trail of criminals. No less impressively she embodies a woman in the family film "After all the years", also set in Leipzig, who has to learn to let go in order to find new happiness. Screenwriter Rainer Berg , for "The Dance with the Devil - The Abduction of Richard Oetker" awarded the Bavarian Television Prize, creates the story with a flair for complex characters and emotional depth. Sven Martinek , known not least from numerous crime novels, convinces in an unusual role as a sensitive ex-boyfriend who hopes for a second chance. "
"TV cheese that has to mature for many years."
“Superwoman always leaves, even when the great days of these supermen are actually over. However, if Simone Thomalla takes over, nothing can happen. She breathes the role of the novelist, mother of two and once abandoned lover so nothing to me, with black eyes and dark complexion that the world is simply divided into two parts: here the Thomalla fans, there those who reject each other so bring the Schmonzette on Friday. It's your own fault if you ignore the lovely romantic Degeto comedy "After all the years" ... [...] a nice solo for Simone Thomalla - power woman and super woman with a difference. It doesn't have to be the same forever and ever. "
"[...] the real quality lies in the imperceptible change of genre:" After all these years "begins like a typical Friday comedy, but then turns into a drama."
“How a modern everyday concept collides with something as archaic as family and great love, that tells - at times humorous, but mostly rather predictable and shallow - this story based on the book by Rainer Berg and Thomas Schwank. In times of dissolving bonds, female viewers in particular are likely to discover points of identification in them. [...] Sun-drenched images of stylish old houses, parks and lakes ensure that the essentially serious topic is easy to digest. "
