action
Six months have passed since Ulf Weiß and Sarah Gievenbeck's wedding. Ulf still has a few problems with his dominant father-in-law Heinrich. That is why he even goes to the treatment of a colleague - although he is himself a psychotherapist . And now everyone: Sarah, his in-laws and himself, want to go to his parents so that the families can get to know each other better. Ulf's parents, Bibi and Julius, live in an elegant district of Düsseldorf and are highly respected members of high society . Julius Weiß is the owner of a large company. Already on the first evening in the villa, the neighbor daughter of the white woman, Linda, appears.
And how could it be otherwise: She is Ulf's childhood sweetheart, and Julius bluntly announces in the presence of his daughter-in-law and Sarah's parents that he would have liked to see Ulf married Linda.
Ulf is embarrassed and Heinrich feels fully confirmed in his prejudices against Ulf. Then there is the topic of children on the table. Ulf says that he wants children, just not yet. Sarah gets this the wrong way and thinks he already wants children, just not with her. And then Heinrich overhears Bibi and Julius, who make fun of him and his wife Sybille as “the philistines from the country”. When they are in their room, Sarah wants to make up and sleep with Ulf, but Ulf doesn't want to. Sarah is upset and hurt because he has not wanted to sleep with her for 6 weeks. Ulf needs fresh air and goes out into the garden. Suddenly Linda is standing in front of him. When Ulf wakes up the next morning, he's lying in Linda's bed, completely naked. Lots of empty wine bottles indicate a night of drinking. He quickly gets dressed and tries to get back to his parents' villa unnoticed by trying to get into an open window. But he is watched by a woman who thinks he is a burglar and calls the police. After he was able to clear up the misunderstanding and excuse Sarah by saying that he slept on the lounger in the garden, his father invites him to come to the gym with him. Heinrich goes with me too. When he sees a woman there wearing a red tracksuit that resembles Linda's underwear, he gets visions of Linda and faints.
Later, everyone goes to the dressing room for the gala at which Julius is to be named Düsseldorf Entrepreneur of the Year in a classy boutique. Heinrich rides with Bibi, and she suddenly makes him blunt advances. She also snubs her daughter-in-law by constantly calling her Sandra instead of Sarah and advising her to wear a bourgeois costume.
In the afternoon Heinrich observes how Ulf secretly tries to make Linda's slip, which he accidentally took with him after the night, disappear. When everyone is at the racecourse the next day , Heinrich leaves under a pretext and lets himself be taken by taxi to Linda's house to confront her and expose his son-in-law as an adulterer. But she doesn't hear the bell because she is wearing headphones. A neighbor is suspicious of the strange man in Linda's garden and she calls the police . Heinrich is arrested on suspicion of being a tensioner. Everyone wonders where Heinrich is when they get home. But at an advanced hour, Sybille had drunk so much wine with Julius that she didn't worry about her husband, who was desperately trying to reach her on his cell phone. The next morning Ulf and Sybille wake up next to each other! Sybille made a mistake in the door in her drunken state. After the misunderstanding has been cleared up, Heinrich is released from jail and immediately observes how Ulf is already back in Linda's house, and she is standing naked in front of him. At the gala in the evening there is a discussion between Sarah and Ulf. However, he does not notice that he has still switched on his microphone on his chest - he had given a speech shortly beforehand. And so the whole hall overhears that he is currently impotent. But this was only for psychosomatic reasons, because he felt pressured by Heinrich to have a child with Sarah. Then Linda storms the hall and announces that Ulf is a liar and that he is pregnant.
The Gievenbecks leave pissed off, a divorce seems inevitable. But then Ulf of all people receives the hint from arrogant Ralf that Linda is broke and has already tried the pregnancy number on someone else. He immediately goes to Munster to talk to Sarah and his in-laws. Sybille persuades Heinrich and Sarah to give Ulf a chance to prove his innocence. Suddenly Heinrich got the idea: The case is on record because the supposed other "father" is from Münster and sued Linda at the time. Under certain difficulties, Ulf, Heinrich and Sybille get the files and lure Linda into a trap: In a conversation with Ulf, she confesses that nothing ever happened between him and her, but that he was just too drunk to go home and she let him sleep in her bed because of it. Sarah also overheard and she and Ulf fall into each other's arms overjoyed. Then it turns out that Julius has gone bankrupt with his company. Bibi and Julius are still not unhappy. You sell the villa in Düsseldorf and move to Münster . And a few months later, Ulf and Sarah are happy parents and Bibi and Julius and Sybille and Heinrich are proud grandparents.
