About

Bernd Neubauer is a pleasant man in his mid-40s - he plays away five or six years effortlessly. But the two women in his life put him in strange situations. Or in desperate ones. It seems it's not the professor who's putting up with a waitress, but she's putting up with him. It seems he is also dispensable at home. In the end, Bernd and Lena have bought a house in the country, but Else Maschke, who has lived there since childhood, has lost her retirement. Melanie is expecting a child and Lena is also pregnant. A merciful end is needed, but is there one?
