It should have been a harmonious family reunion. But no sooner have the couple Stephan (Christoph Maria Herbst) and Elisabeth (Caroline Peters) arrived on Lanzarote with their new parents Thomas (Florian David Fitz) and Anna (Janina Uhse) than new conflicts erupt in the Böttcher family. Not only do Thomas and Elisabeth hardly recognise their beloved family home, much worse: their mother Dorothea (Iris Berben) and adopted son René (Justus von Dohnányi) have deepened their relationship in every way on the Canary island and announce their desire to have children! In various alliances, there are heated arguments about complicated successions, impossible pregnancies and the modern understanding of family - with the Spanish sun, the charms of a young gardener and the effects of hash biscuits escalating the situation further and further.
