action
Vienna in December: After the turbulence of the previous year, Kati and Jonas have decided to definitely escape the Christmas hustle and bustle this year. During the vacation in Mauritius, the aim is to get married right away. Very romantic, stress-free and without family members. Both submit this over dinner to Kati's sister Luiserl, who of course is not keen on missing her sister's wedding. Finally they agree to take the sister's family with them.
That same evening, Luiserl chatted to Jo's mother ("Omama") and of course immediately called her on the scene. When checking in at the airport, mothers Lillibet and Grandma actually show up to accompany the children to the wedding. As expected, the first clashes begin on the plane.
In Mauritius, Luise confesses to her mother-in-law that, despite her advanced age, she is pregnant again. Kati and Jonas' wedding is almost canceled due to a chickenpox infection (sheep leaf) and Lillibet and Grandma are ultimately kept away from the wedding celebrations.
At the end of the film, Lillibet and Omama extend their stay "by a few weeks".
