If looks could kill, Almuth Seegers would have left behind a number of corpses. The former dentist just had to sell her practice to a younger colleague for reasons of age. Now the senior, who has been divorced for 19 years and is dissatisfied with her life, is faced with an inner emptiness that cannot be compensated for by trying to rediscover golf. Almuth has a big problem: she doesn't love herself, so she is unable to feel affection for others. If a conversation threatens to become too personal, she uses the phrase "That's enough, change the subject!" to finish briskly. Even her relationship with her mother Elisabeth, who lives in a nursing home, is of a clearly cold nature - no wonder, because Almuth does not want to admit to herself how much she has taken over from the cool, outwardly dismissive character of her wife Mama. Rita Ritter and her terrier mix Pankow sweep into the vague feeling of being lost from unwanted retirement. She is Almuth's cleaning lady, but has not been noticed by her until now, since the life of the frustrated woman in her mid-sixties revolved solely around her professional responsibility. Now two women from completely opposite worlds face each other: On the one hand, the strict ex-doctor who is incapable of emotional emotions, on the other hand, a whirlwind from the former East with an infectious temperament and a loose tongue. Rita quickly realizes what is wrong with her employer and tries to lure her out of her reserve. In doing so, she achieves partial successes, but these are not of long duration. At some point, even the household help, who is blessed with a thick skin, finds it too much: Rita resigns and Almuth is left alone again. Now it is up to her to jump over her own shadow and open up to her fellow human beings in order to be respected and loved herself.

Everything runs like clockwork for the Jens family: Hanna and Martin are extremely happily married, their son Paul is a bright, funny eleven-year-old boy. Professionally, too, things are going well: Both are employed in managerial positions in a Hamburg shipyard, Hanna in quality management, Martin in the development department. Everything is fine the way it is. And then it gets even better. Because completely surprisingly, Hanna is promoted to second managing director by junior boss Bernd Möller. A recognition that Hanna would never have dreamed of. And Martin is overjoyed, too, as he now sees the necessary funds for the development of his passion project, a revolutionary fuel cell, within reach with Hanna's support. Of course not all that glitters is gold. Because what Hanna didn't know, the traditional shipyard is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hanna has to go through a tough austerity course, which Martin's project also falls victim to. Sworn to secrecy by junior boss Möller, Hanna cannot confide in her angry, disappointed husband. Thick storm clouds are now hanging over the former picture-book family, which are becoming even darker because of Martin's widowed, headstrong father Willfried, who has temporarily moved in with them. For Willfried, the mere fact that not Martin but Hanna became boss is an impossibility; that she is now also - apparently - deliberately sabotaging his son, another sign of the completely wrong course of the modern world. Where will this all end? First of all, in a veritable marriage crisis of the former dream couple. While Martin seeks encouragement from a young colleague, Hanna wears herself out in her fight for the shipyard and slowly discovers that someone is playing the wrong cards in order to enrich themselves from the ruin of the shipyard. But it seems too late to try to save both the shipyard and their marriage.

In 1990s east Germany, three boys are in love with techno music and start their own club.

Boxer is the king of the correctional facility. Nothing works without him in "his" prison, and if need be, he even knocks out a much younger fellow inmate. - and that at over 80 years of age, mind you. However, his advanced age is increasingly taking its toll, which has not escaped the notice of the prison doctor. Boxer is to be transferred to a prison especially for senior citizens - the idea alone makes the sprightly prison veteran shudder. But then his buddy Henne tells him that he has finally found what he is looking for in the search for Boxer's great love Kathrin, and even more: He has found out that Kathrin has a daughter - and she looks amazingly like Boxer ... Suddenly he old crooks no longer have anything against being transferred to senior citizens' prison. From there, he has resolved, he will be able to escape. And then he will see the woman he once wanted to marry, and maybe his daughter too. However, there was one thing Boxer did not expect: his former friend Wallberg is also housed in his new prison home. Boxer had committed several robberies with him and Henne in the 80s, including a spectacular jewel robbery worth millions. Boxer and Wallberg were convicted, nothing could be proven against Henne. The booty was gone. Boxer, while still in custody, beat Wallberg to the hospital. He suspected that Wallberg had at least one eye on Kathrin. In the senior citizens' prison, Wallberg plays the harmless demented quite convincingly in order to be able to deal undisturbed with medicines. But Boxer saw through him and continued to be confrontational - until Wallberg suggested they flee together. What Boxer doesn't suspect: thanks to Henne's involvement, Wallberg has the same motive as he does - after all, Kathrin's daughter could also be his child. The escape succeeds, the former crook trio is reunited and first wants to dig up the loot from the grave of millions, so that they can finally see Kathrin again. But the outside world has changed since Boxer and Wallberg's convictions, and nothing is going quite as well as Boxer thought it would.

The head of the agency, Reinhard Waltz, is able to sell his advertising company to a corporation at a profit and imagines himself living the perfect life. But then suddenly a young advertising man is thrown in front of him

10,000 marks - that is how much it would cost Erika Kornfeld to undergo breast reconstruction after a long-ago cancer operation. However, the 65-year-old pensioner does not have this money and neither the lady from the health insurance company nor her relatives show much understanding for her desire to be a "whole woman" again. Erika's best friends Dorle and Ilse are quite different. They are determined to help her financially. With all sorts of clever tricks and a good portion of chutzpah, the bon Vivian's had always managed to treat themselves to something despite a small bankroll. Now the senior citizens are doing small jobs to finance Erika's operation: They rent out their old Ford Taunus as advertising space, sell crocheted doilies or advertise incontinence panties. But all imagination is in vain, you don't get the money until the planned surgery date. In this situation, Ilse and Dorle develop astonishing criminal energy in order to find the missing sum: They rob a casino with a pistol made of cookie dough and chocolate icing. That brings a lot of money, but at the same time big trouble is not long in coming. Because while Erika seems to find the right man in the likable Fred, of all people, the casual Ilse lets the windy charmer Karl turn her head. But for Erika at some point the question arises anyway whether she really needs a new breast for her late happiness.

Everyone is discussing the threat of two-tier medicine - Kathi Pfeiffer, on the other hand, interprets the term in her own unique way: the head of the therapeutic department of a Munich private clinic also treats needy people who actually cannot afford it - and provides everything to her wealthy patients charged. This not entirely legal Robin Hood method becomes her undoing when the old clinic owner dies and a community of investors takes over. The new bosses, who want to turn the traditional house into a luxury clinic anyway, accuse Kathi of fraud and put not only her, but the entire workforce at the door without notice. From one moment to the next, Kathi's entire existence is in danger of collapsing: her colleagues blame her for the layoffs and her private debts threaten to finally grow over her head due to the loss of her job. In this situation, she will also no longer be able to take care of her old neighbor, Ms. Otz. Determined to end her life, she runs to a bridge on the river. However, she is not alone with this idea: Before Kathi can implement it, an elegantly dressed man jumps into the water in front of her eyes. In this situation, Kathi's helper instinct triumphs over her suicidal thoughts: She jumps after the man, saves the man's life and flees with him from the arriving police. The soaking wet bridge jumper introduces himself as Clemens Nutz. He too has had a hard blow of fate. As an unscrupulous financial juggler, he came to power and wealth - until his criminal partner connected him to illegal business and whistled him to the public prosecutor's office as a pawn victim. Kathi takes the volatile top manager in and together the unequal duo decides to declare war on their opponents. Thanks to Clemens' experience in the business world, Kathi's resolute charm and the hacking talent of Kathi's 18-year-old grandson Julius, they manage to collect evidence against the greedy speculators. And it doesn't take long before the two of them get closer to each other in their private search for clues. But then Kathi gets into a situation in which she has to ask herself whether she can really trust her supposed boyfriend from the world of high finance - or whether he is not in cahoots with her worst enemy.
