For 30 years, Hedi Ohlsen only sacrificed herself for her family. For the sake of her husband Johannes, a dentist, she learned the unloved job of a doctor's assistant. In addition, she had to keep the house and garden in good shape and raise a child. In addition, Hedi has been caring for her aged mother-in-law Agnes for years - even though Johannes has long since started a new family with a younger woman. When Agnes dies, Hedi takes a deep breath, because she can finally start her own life. But just at this moment, daughter Leonie is ambushed at the door: she has quit her job and was left by her husband Fred because she was cheating on the colored musician Jules. She's also pregnant, but doesn't know exactly by whom. Spoiled as she is, Leonie nests in the "Hotel Mama" and quite naturally expects Hedi to take care of her and her grandchild. Hedi is torn between her sense of duty and her desire for independence. In addition, her spoiled daughter will soon be quite gone annoy. Hedi wants to sell her house, but Leonie makes every effort to scare off potential buyers with garbage and chaos. Has Hedi's dream of late freedom already come to an end? When the fun-loving pastor Kristensen courts her charmingly, Johannes remorsefully wants to return to his wife and Hedi becomes a grandmother at the same time, the situation comes to a head.
