The rapper and IT-student Dominic is the opposite of a sunny-boy. He is introverted, grumpy and often lost in his own thoughts. The fact that he is gay and hasn’t told anyone doesn’t help the situation and certainly not his relationships. Instead of openly talking about his feelings, he goes on meaningless sex-dates and makes sure that nobody knows what is really going on in his life. This plan works quite well – at least for a while.

Paul is living the dream. He’s a pilot who gets to fly across the globe, and at home, his beautiful younger wife Susan waits for him. The only catch: he promised to retire early and take care of their 4-year-old son Franz. But when he breaks his word, Susan leaves him… alone with Franz. On top of that, the kids from his two previous marriages appear on his doorstep: lovesick, morbidly shy 22-year-old Jonas, and Tabea, a teenager in trouble. His kids make him face the dire truth: he’s a bad dad. Now, Paul has one week to show he’s capable of being a father, or Susan won’t come back. When Paul reluctantly shows his kids how much he loves them, they finally bond! But is that enough to win Susan back? - BetaFilm

Upon contact with them, the urgency to end it no longer becomes so pressing, to the point where Jean little by little rediscovers a meaning in his existence.
